Itinerary

The Kayak adventure begins in Playa de los Alemanes, exploring the mangroves and lava stone reef, passing through the colorful iguana islet channel where turtles and reef fish regularly live. The next stop will be to observe the life that flies above us, lava gulls, blue-footed boobies, frigates and even tropical birds live on the wall of Punta Estrada. Moving comfortably with the current that enters Franklin Bay, we can visit the Canal of Love, a place well known for its striking colors, tranquility and presence of nocturnal seagulls. We will advance exploring the mangroves of Franklin Bay, looking for hunting seabird activity and turtles that also feed in the area. We will pass by private docks where families of sea lions rest and if conditions allow, we will explore the interior of the mangrove where whitetip sharks are sometimes found resting on the bottom. To finish the program we anchor the kayaks in a safe area and jump into the water to explore lots of underwater life with snorkeling! We return to the kayaks, paddle to Playa de los Alemanes and the program will be over.
