Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary

Sibu offers educational visits about Nosara’s wildlife and the animals in its care. Learn why habitat protection and reducing human-made hazards matter. Visits require advance booking; the sanctuary lists a minimum age of five and prohibits touching or handling wildlife.

Montezuma Turtle Conservation

ASVO’s Montezuma station connects coastal conservation with community work and sea-turtle protection. Learn about its current projects and how participation is arranged. Volunteering and educational visits require coordination; turtle sightings and hatchling releases are not guaranteed visitor events.

Curú Wildlife Refuge

Toward Paquera, Curú is a longer day outing with forest trails, mangroves and coastal habitat. Ask the refuge which routes are currently open and appropriate for your group. Some trails may close, and wildlife sightings depend on conditions.

Playa Pelada Tide Pools

At low tide, rocky sections of Pelada reveal small pools where coastal life may be visible. Observe from secure, dry footing with an adult. Leave animals untouched and watch the incoming tide; a tide pool is not automatically a safe swimming pool.

Río Montaña Mangroves

The Río Montaña is part of Nosara’s connected river and wetland landscape. A locally guided river outing can introduce the relationship between mangrove roots, tidal water and birdlife. Confirm the route and conditions with the guide and keep clear of wildlife.
