Mangrove Tours & Fishing
The Sierpe Terraba Mangrove Forest is the largest mangrove preserve in Costa Rica. Most of the time the canals
This extensive national wetland protects the river mouths of the Terraba and Sierpe Rivers and the vast network of canals, mangrove forests and wetlands in between.
Choose to explore this area by boat on a relaxing half or full day tour looking for wildlife or split the day and spend half the day fishing in the calm quiet waters for pargo, snook and snapper. Closer to the river mouth you can catch mackerel and jacks.
Let us arrange a beautiful relaxing day on the river for you and your family or friends.
Option 1: Half Day Wildlife Mangrove Safari
Mornings in the mangroves are spectacular. Clouds linger in the nearby mountains and the sun glistens off the glass like water. Birds and other wildlife are abundant in the early morning.
The Rio Sierpe mangrove tour is great for bird watching and animal
viewing. The tour travels up river to the east and then
south west on the tributary Chocuaco. The foliage is more abundant and
there are less people living along the rivers. This provides the chance
to photograph animals, reptiles and birds close up. Four types of
monkeys, scarlet macaws, iguanas, crocodiles and if you are really lucky,
giant
river otters, one of the rarest animals of Central America.
Schedule: 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. Contact us if you want a full day tour with lunch or dinner served on a floating restaurant.
