Tropic Star Lodge - Activities

On your arrival day, if you wish, Tropic Star Lodge will arrange optional afternoon activities which include inshore fishing and a jungle river trip to visit the indigenous tribes (additional cost, payable direct).

Fish inshore on a panga in the waters near the lodge where snapper, roosterfish, and several types of jack are the predominant target species. The preferred method is slow trolling live bait in conjunction with casting top water poppers from the panga. If you wish to fish inshore for a few hours the dock master will arrange for a boat, captain, and mate (additional cost, payable direct).

The jungle river trip to visit with the indigenous tribes can only be made during certain tides; therefore, if you are interested, please ask the manager about the afternoon's tides. Many guests bring candy for the children and special "gifts" for the Indians, such as cloth, thread, needles, or other items that are useful to them. School supplies for the children are always welcome. This is an optional tour and is payable direct.

At no additonal cost, you may wish to kayak in the waters near the lodge or hike a jungle trail that has been cut across to Playa Blanca where you may enjoy swimming, snorkeling, sunning, and shelling on the beautiful white sand beach. Please inquire at the office regarding rental snorkeling gear. This trail is over a small mountain and is a 30- to 40-minute hike. In order to really enjoy this walk, you should be in very good physical shape!
