This was a great experience for my family! They picked us up not far from our hotel in a nice comfortable van and everything was all arranged.
I really enjoyed this boat ride and seeing all the wildlife. The guide was always ready to answer extra questions and seemed to have a real love of the nature on the tour. The only reason I’m giving this 3 Stars is because the details in English weren’t complete. I should have taken a swimming costume for the clay activity and the beach.
