TRANSCRIPT
Good morning everybody, today we're doing the Damas Island mangrove boat tour. Hopefully we'll see a lot of cool wildlife in this beautiful place near Manuel Antonio, so let's go and check it out.
Just a 15 minute drive outside of Manuel Antonio lies the Damas Island, an island surrounded by estuaries lined with coastal mangrove forest. Tourists can take a river boat safari tour through Damas Island to see the surrounding mangroves and estuaries and to spot the exotic wildlife that lives there.
On our 2 hour boat tour, our guide taught us about the incredible mangrove ecosystem including the different types of mangrove trees. As we boated through the mangroves in our covered riverboat, we saw a ton of wildlife including a crocodile, monkeys, a boa constrictor that only lives in mangroves, herons, kingfishers, iguanas and bats all thanks to our boat captain and guide's sharp eyes.
They also offer this tour by way of kayak and visitors can choose which one they'd like to do. Kayaking through the mangroves allows you to get closer to wildlife without disturbing them and to go through channels where large motorized boats can't go.
For anyone who wants a fantastic, leisurely wildlife watching experience in Manuel Antonio, the Damas Island is an excellent tour, especially for families.
We just finished the Damas Island mangrove tour, it was very beautiful, it was actually really cool we got to go around the mangroves to learn about the different types of trees and saw a lot of wildlife. So I hope you guys enjoy this video and if you want to learn more about doing this tour just click on the links below and thank you for watching.
