Our knowledgeable naturalist guides will showcase the protected waterways of the Damas Island Estuary, a birder’s paradise.
As you gently paddle open kayaks through this flooded forest, keep an eye out for the many species of herons who stalk the shallows – like stately great egrets, snowy egrets, and the elusive boat-billed heron who comes out at night. Colorful brown pelicans may glide by in formation, while large cormorants dry their wings after a deep dive for fish.
