Manatee sighting tour

Barra del Colorado is a strategic point to spot the manatee, because of the many lagoons and rivers in the area. The manatee is an endangered species, so, if you can spot it, definitely, it will be a very rewarding experience. Nature enthusiasts visit Barra del Colorado year-round only to have a chance to spot the manatee. These gentle giants, are also known as "sea cows", inhabit and visit the calm waters of the region's rivers, canals, and estuaries looking for food. This tour emphasizes responsible wildlife spotting, with guides prioritizing the animals' well-being and minimizing any chance of disturbance. The locals are committed to promoting manatee conservation and raising awareness about the threats these animals are actually facing. Sightings are not guaranteed, but the experienced guides will make their best effort to encountering them. This is a 2 hours’ activity with guide included. We recommend comfortable clothing, hat, a rain jacket (depending on season), sunscreen, insect repellent, water.
