At Limon Costa Rica you can join our
special shore excursion to Gandoca
Lagoon. A beautiful spot where you will be
able to see many wildlife species.

Kayaking is by far the best way to enjoy the wildlife and grandeur of the Gandoca Lagoon in Puerto Limon. This is one of Costa Rica's premiere eco-experiences for wildlife and natural wetlands where you can enjoy nature on your own terms. We have kayaks and canoes to suit the special conditions on Gandoca Lagoon. Previous kayaking experience is not necessary and it is an easy activity for all ages.

This important refuge protects the wildlife of the region, especially species in danger of extinction or having reduced populations. It also safeguards the only naturally occurring mangrove oyster beds to inhabit the reefs along the coastline. The remaining primary forest in this region is unique throughout the Atlantic coastal lowlands because of the relatively small surface area available to support the area's abundant wildlife. This area contains a wide range of lowland habitats with patches of primary forest and numerous rare and unique plants. The refuge also protects major freshwater and marine habitats, including one of the least spoiled coral reefs on the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica. This part of the Atlantic coast is classified as a tropical rain forest.

This tour starts with a short bus ride to Puerto Viejo, at only 60 minutes from Puerto Limon. Once at Puerto Viejo, we will meet our local tour operator who will bring us to the Lagoon. At the lagoon we will spend around 2 hours exploring the rich vegetation and wildlife meantime we admire this unique ecosystem.
