$60
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
Your experience begins with a warm welcome at countryside base, followed by a short transfer to the river dock. Once on board, the boat moves at a gentle pace designed to minimize disturbance and maximize wildlife encounters.
The route follows wetlands and channels bordering Palo Verde National Park, an area internationally known among birders and heavily documented on eBird. Thanks to the concentration of habitats—open wetlands, mangroves, river edges, and seasonal floodplains—this area offers exceptional bird density throughout the year.
Your guide will assist with spotting and identification while sharing ecological insights, seasonal patterns, and why this specific wetland system consistently produces high-quality birding records.
