Sunset Cruises

Golden hour on the water

As the sun drops behind the canopy the whole lake turns to copper and the birds come home to roost. It’s a private cruise around the coves near Arenosa, idling along the shoreline to look for wildlife as the light turns gold. Keep an eye out for birds, iguanas, sloths and the occasional caiman. Just your group and the water at the best hour of the day.

  • ~90-minute private cruise
  • Around the coves near Arenosa
  • Birds, iguanas, sloths & caiman
  • Private, just your group
  • The best photos of your trip

Wildlife & Jungle

Toucans, herons & howlers

The wildlife here tends to find you. Iguanas basking by the water, sloths moving slow in the trees, squirrels in the branches, and herons working the shallows. A walk around Arenosa is a lovely way to see more of it. Bring a coffee and keep your eyes open.

  • Iguanas, sloths & squirrels
  • Herons & shore birds
  • Easy walks around Arenosa
  • Birdlife along the water
