    MANGROVE KAYAKING & PLAYA CONCHAL

    Playa Conchal is widely considered to be Costa Rica’s most beautiful beach. Situated on the Northwest Pacific coast in a stunning protected bay, this spectacular kilometer-long beach fronts warm turquoise waters and offers magnificent views of the coastline. Its name, which literally means “Shell Beach,” refers to the millions of softened tiny crushed sea shells that construct the beach. This is a cherished national treasure which has been declared a Natural Reserve by the Costa Rican government, making the shells illegal to remove.

    Our day begins with a gentle morning of kayaking in the mangrove estuary. This peaceful paddle is designed to be easy and relaxing for everyone, allowing you to glide effortlessly through calm, sheltered waters. As you navigate the winding waterways, keep an eye on the treetops—the mangroves are a favorite hangout for monkeys, colorful tropical birds, and other local wildlife.

    After our time on the water, we will enjoy a relaxing lunch stop (included) before continuing our excursion through charming hamlets and coastal towns en route to Playa Conchal. Bring your towel and your sunscreen and get ready for a perfect afternoon on the beach, where you can soak up the sun and enjoy the crystal-clear waters of this tropical paradise.

    What to bring: Towel, bathing suit, water, change of clothes, hat, and sunscreen.
