Join me, naturalist & biologist ecotour guide @stacebird, on a kayak tour 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, a variety of tropical birds, perhaps even some monkeys while learning about the tropical ecosystems in which they occur.
Leisurely kayak to a mangrove island for a snorkeling adventure. We will go slow, taking in the rich complexity of the reef as I point out & identify marine species & the fascinating behavior of reef life.
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.
Next we'll to a couple of peaceful canals & find ourselves in a cathedral-like mangrove tunnel & learn 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.

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!
