Pacific Ocean Mangroves Kayaking

Introduction

Navigate breathtaking landscapes through lush mangroves, discovering the vibrant marine life thriving in this conservation haven.

Description

Embark on an inspiring adventure to Isla Cañas Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary nestled in the heart of Tonosí, Los Santos. This breathtaking national park spans 59,305 acres, with nearly 49,000 acres dedicated to the rich marine life of the Pacific Ocean. Established to protect vital turtle nesting grounds in the Azuero region, this refuge offers a unique blend of natural beauty and conservation.

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, followed by a short, scenic water transfer to the serene community of Cañas Island. Here, the local community, deeply committed to preserving marine life, warmly welcomes you. Our guide manages a remarkable kayaking experience, guiding you through 2,965 acres of lush mangrove forests—home to diverse species of red, white, twisted mangroves, and more.

During the magical turtle nesting season, witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of life emerging from the sands. This experience is not just about nature but also about the community empowerment story. Enjoy a traditional cart tour through the island and savor a delicious, locally-prepared meal.

Community Turtle Conservation Program – A donation to build nests will help the community preserve the turtle eggs and improve the survival chances of the hatchlings.
