Overview

Kayaking Mangroves in Los Haitises National Park with a local tour guide 4 Hours. In the Los Haitises National Park, close to Sabana de la Mar, there are 98 km2 of mangrove forest. You will see several open spots in the national park and these spots needs to be reforested again. In 1998, the hurricane George destroyed many areas of mangroves and can not restore by themselves. We hope that with a growing mangrove forest, more animals will inhabit the area, and ecotourism can provide an income for the local people.

We will collect these seeds and going to open spots in the national park which needs to be reforested again. We will show you how to plant the mangroves and explain you why it is so important. Then you will have the opportunity to plant the mangroves yourself and enjoy the good feeling by helping the nature. This Tour is for everyone who wants to enjoy the time in the nature, learn new things, meet new people and help to the nature.

Every person can plant around 50 seedlings. We are planting in a moody area so we recommend to bring waterproof shoes.
