Land Adventures

Sea Turtle Conservation Project: Residents (and volunteers!) take turns walking the beaches at night to collect recently laid Loggerhead & Leatherback turtle eggs before poachers can get at them, and then re-bury the eggs in a protected egg sanctuary. The young turtle’s then hatch about three months later and are released, hopefully to return to Plaplaya years later to lay their own eggs!

Yamari Horseback Riding: There is possibly no better way to explore the wide open savannah of Brus Laguna than on horseback. Riding across this expansive and beautiful landscape will give you great opportunity to see a variety of flora/fauna otherwise inaccessible. Another great option is to ride out to the Yamari Savannah Cabanas, spend the night, and ride out the next morning!

Paru Creek Rainforest Hike: If you are feeling adventurous, a rainforest experience like no other awaits! Begin by hiking through lowland rainforest to find two resident howler monkey troops who call the forest home. Then, plunge into a cool creek and quietly float under the rainforest canopy, the silence broken only by the chatter of parrots and the distant rumbling of howler monkeys overhead.

Pico Baltimore Multi-Day Trek: This invigorating two-day overnight trek takes you into the towering forest of the Pico Baltimore mountain range. The hike is a fantastic opportunity to see wildlife and spectacular views of Ibans Lagoon & the Caribbean Ocean. During the trek a local nature guide will show you traditional and medicinal uses of plants, point out birds and mammals, orchids and giant hardwoods. Spend the night in a small palm-thatched cabana deep in the heart of the rainforest.

Water Adventures

Night time Crocodile Cruise: Ready for some wild nightlife? How about floating right up to a 2-3 meter crocodile or caiman in a small dugout canoe! In the nighttime crocodile cruise you will explore small waterways at night with flashlights, looking for the red reflection of the reptile's eyes as they quietly break the water's surface. There is nothing like drifting through the open savannah at night under a sky full of stars.

Traditional Miskito Fishing: In this tour, local Miskito guides will take you out into the rivers and lagoons of La Moskitia to show you the secret techniques that local communities have used for centuries to catch fish you will even learn how to throw a traditional fishing net! In addition to fishing, the guides will also point out other interesting aspects of the natural landscapes around you.

Sit-On-Top Kayaking: Explore endless clear creeks and lagoons with sit-on-top kayaks, an easy and fun way to approach wildlife in the savannah - particularly birds. You can even try your skill at maneuvering a traditional "cayuco" canoe. If you don't want to go too far, just paddle near the cabanas and get wet!

Petroglyph Hike & River Trip: Start this unique tour by being poled and paddled upstream in a "cayuco" canoe by local nature guides. Next, hike for two hours along a well-maintained jungle trail. Then, end up at a petroglyph (rock art) that is known to date back approximately 1000 years, although its origin remains a mystery. Swim in the cool waters of the Rio Platano and warm up under the sun as you ponder the mystery of the ancient rock art.
