For an exciting whitewater rafting trip, only a short drive from our office are the turbulent class III-IV rapids of the Rio Cangrejal where you can experience the excitement of half-a-day of whitewater rafting in the lucious rainforest.

We also take visitors on 1 and 2 day canoe trips in the Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, a rare Central American ecosystem of mangroves found where freshwater rivers join the Caribbean. An ideal place for birders to see the fantastic and unusual species of this rare habitat characterized by a rich diversity of flora and fauna including wetland birds, manatees, howler monkeys and whitefaced capuchin monkeys.

IMPORTANT these itineraries are the main guideline for our tours, however the guide has the right to make adjustments to ensure the utmost security and safety of the clients. Other factors may affect the itinerary, such as sudden changes in water levels while rafting, obstacles in the rivers, the pace of hikers, conditions of the trails, floods and severe foul weather.

In all our expeditions we only use dead wood found on the riverbanks to prepare meals. Physiological necessities are taken care in the same way a cat does, with our folding shovel. We sleep in tents and we normally eat a hot cooked breakfast and dinner, while lunches are cold.

Where our itinerary takes us to indigenous villages, we often use local lodging, transportation and services. In this way these local communities also benefit from your participation in Honduran eco-tourism.

All tours are offered in Spanish and English, and all eco-tours are guided by a knowledgeable naturalist.
