Tranquil kayaking or dugout canoeing through the Cacao Lagoon (full day)

Tranquil kayaking or dugout canoeing through the Cacao Lagoon. The day is spent enjoying the mangroves, howler monkeys, other wildlife and a wide open beach.
The trip begins at the Omega Lodge where we take approximately 1 hour drive to Cacao Lagoon. Here we drive through the small fishing village surrounded by an old cacao plantation to get to the Lagoon.

We unload our equipment, jump into our boats and first weave through a small mangrove channel out into the lagoon. Paddling along the lagoon edge we can see and hear a lot of wildlife and a few local people fishing from their dugout canoes. Before long we enter the Monkey Channel, another narrow, overgrown channel full of mangroves. This is where most of the wildlife sightings occur, lots of birds, bats, and howler monkeys are usually seen.

From here we then paddle to the Caribbean Sea where we get picturesque views of a serene beach and the nearby Cayos Cochinos. It is here where we have an enjoyable swim and beach picnic, probably you want to take your kayak out on a surf in the sea.

After our beach time, we paddle back across the middle of the lagoon and drive back to Omega Lodge.
