Full Description

The Monkey Mangrove Experience in Quepos is one of the most unique wildlife tours near Manuel Antonio. The tour begins where two freshwater rivers converge and meet a channel lined with heliconias, gingers, ferns, palms and guarumos.

White-faced capuchin monkeys are regular visitors — curious, bold and frequently close enough to observe in detail from the boat.

As the channel deepens toward the mangrove zone, the landscape transforms. Mangrove roots emerge from the mixed salt and freshwater environment — one of the most productive ecosystems on the coast.

COMBO TIP: Pairs perfectly with Manuel Antonio National Park on the same day.
