Tours
WET hotel works directly with smaller independent operators who offer tours of our local Estuary and Mangroves by boat or kayak, as well as Turtle Nesting tours.
Estuary tours offer an immersive wildlife experience, insights into our tropical ecology and biodiversity, along with a snapshot of local Indigenous heritage within Las Baulas National Marine Park.Â
Wildlife
- Birds: Spot herons, egrets, ospreys, and the rare mangrove hummingbird.
- Reptiles: See American crocodiles and green iguanas basking along the riverbanks.
- Mammals: Marvel at howler monkeys moving through the canopy.
Ecology
- Mangrove Forests: Explore one of the largest protected mangrove ecosystems in Latin America.
- Ever-changing landscape: Navigate by boat or kayak the narrow, winding water canals that change depending on the ocean tides.
- Ancient Flora: Learn about 500-year-old Pochote trees and Costa Rica's iconic Guanacaste trees, for which our province is named.
Our trusted local partners offer Turtle Nesting Tours during turtle nesting season and operate with the highest ethical standards to avoid disturbing these wonderful creatures in any way.
- Giant Leatherback Turtles: Late October to mid-February, peaking in December and January at Las Baulas National Park and surrounding beaches.
- Olive Ridley Turtles: Year-round, with peak mass nesting waves (arribadas) between July and November at Playa Ostional.
- Green and Hawksbill Turtles: May through November, occasionally nesting on regional beaches in smaller numbers, with less predictability.
