Damas Island Mangrove by Kayak

Paddle gently through the inland waterways of the Damas Island Estuary, one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet.

This important ecological area is where the salt waters of the ocean meet the fresh waters of tropical rivers, creating a periodically submerged forest of hanging roots. On the banks, you might spot local inhabitants, like the Sally lightfoot crab, boa constrictors, silky anteaters, monkeys, lizards, seabirds, and sometimes even crocodiles!
