Rent a Kayak With Us!
From USD 12
Golfo Dulce and its mangrove forest are unique ecosystems you can't miss. While our guided tours are fantastic, exploring on your own is an excellent option as these waters are generally calm and safe, perfect for unique paddles. Can you imagine? As you explore the Gulf, you might encounter dolphins, stingrays, frigatebirds, tuna, and countless seabirds. If you venture into the mangrove, the wildlife isn't far behind: monkeys, birds of all kinds, and with luck, even a tapir! The best part about renting a kayak with us is that you don't have to choose just one route; you can explore whatever you're most passionate about at that moment.
Plus, our staff is here to help you every step of the way: they'll show you the safest routes, assist you in carrying your equipment to the beach, and provide all the necessary instructions and safety gear. Don't miss out on the incredible experience of exploring Golfo Dulce at your own pace!

5 Key Recommendations for Your Kayak Rental
-
Define Your Adventure: Consider whether you want to explore Golfo Dulce or the mangrove forest. Both offer unique experiences, and the advantage of renting is that you can combine them or choose based on your interest!
-
Assess Your Experience Level: If you're a beginner or prefer greater stability, consider our double Ocean Kayaks. If you have a bit more experience and are looking for a more agile and comfortable solo paddle, our fiberglass sit-on-top kayaks are excellent. Our staff will advise you.
-
Take Advantage of Staff Advice: Even if you're going out on your own, our team is there to help. Don't hesitate to ask them about the safest routes, points of interest where you might see more wildlife, and any additional instructions on handling the equipment. They'll provide all the necessary support.
-
Prepare for the Natural Environment: Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. Consider bringing a dry bag to protect your personal items (phone, keys, etc.) from splashes. You'll be immersed in nature!
-
Respect Wildlife and the Ecosystem: Remember that you are visiting a natural habitat. Maintain a respectful distance from wildlife, do not feed the animals, and avoid leaving trash. We want both you and the ecosystem to enjoy the experience.
