KAYAK THE ESPIRITO SANTO RIVER
$72 Per Person
Both the novice and experienced kayakers will begin with a bit of
instruction and safety lessons before setting out on the river. With a
small ratio of guides to kayakers, you will be able to relax as you move
along the river's edge for about 40 minutes through the mangroves along
the way. Calm waters are the norm, and great views will remind you of why
you are traveling in the Caribbean.
The guides are all local and will not only relay the interesting tidbits
about the eco-system but tell you local tales. While the sights and sounds
of wildlife surround you, your guide will be giving you commentary on the
fauna and why it lives in this area. We paddle down river where you will
see a large variety of birds through the mangrove channels of the nature
reserve.
A treat after your kayak is a little beach time, about an hour actually,
at an area protected by a complex set of cays that cover almost a mile. At
the beach you will have the opportunity of biking around the shoreline
where Indian pottery could be found or just relax at the beach. Then we
will paddle back to Villa Pesquera where your transportation will be
waiting.
You can figure about 40 minutes of easy kayaking followed by 40 minutes of
relaxing with your toes in the sand.
