Join me, biologist ecotour guide @stacebird, on a late afternoon paddle out of Isla Colón's Saigon Bay. We'll explore various tropical ecosystems & learn their vital importance to heathy oceans & our planet's future. We'll have opportunities to see sloths, an array of tropical birds, perhaps even monkeys.
We'll paddle out of Saigon Bay for a snorkeling adventure. We will go slow, taking in the rich complexity of the coral reef as I point out & identify marine species & fascinating reef life behavior.
We'll "hop" back into the kayaks; upper body strength is necessary for the this part of the excursion. If guests choose to forego snorkeling, we still can still see the beauty of the reef as we glide over it on our kayaks.
We'll paddle onward through peaceful bays canals while learning about the vital importance of mangrove ecosystems while keeping an eye out for wildlife.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Tell the taxi driver Santuario del Mar (Isla Colón). Follow the gravel driveway straight down towards the water, walking on a wooden boardwalk to the dock where we will get into the kayaks. Stacey will be waiting for you at the driveway.
What to expect
This ecotour is designed to be an educational experience on the tropical ecology and conservation of the various different marine ecosystems of Bocas del Toro. Together, we'll explore marine seagrass beds, beautiful coral reef & complex mangrove forest ecosystems. We'll discuss how and why their conservation is vital to maintain healthy oceans and a healthy planet overall.
We'll get back into the kayaks & head out of the bay to find beautiful, peaceful canals and a cathedral-like mangrove tunnel. We will keep an eye out for the commonly encountered three-toed sloth, a variety of tropical birds & perhaps the howler monkey troop will be nearby!
