Description
The day begins at Balandra beach. Your guides will meet you before opening time while in queue to enter (it's of special importance to be on time in order to guarantee entry). We'll be granted access into Balandra at 8.00 am, and will begin with the Kayaking part of the day. We'll board our tandem sit on tops kayaks, and head towards a mangrove channel, where we'll enjoy a special kind of peace, view sea birds, and invertebrates who live in the mangrove's roots. Then, we'll kayak towards one of the best hidden beaches of Balandra, to rest for a bit. We'll continue kayaking towards the rocky reef, where we'll jump into the water and snorkel with the sea life on the area for about 20-30 minutes. After kayaking and snorkeling, we'll go back to the beach to prepare for the hike. The hike takes us from Balandra beach to Tecolote beach. We'll walk on rocky hills, sandy beaches, and intertidal rocky zones. Your guide will talk to you about the history, flora, fauna, and local community. The hiking lasts, in average, 2.5 hours. It's going to be hot, but worth it! Come well prepared for that. Once the hiking is done, we'll meet our staff at the beach camp we've have had set up. We'll enjoy a delicious fresh lunch of ceviche and cold drinks. You'll have some time to enjoy the beach and relax before we finish up at 3 pm.Includes
