This tour was really cool. Our guide Johnny pointed out all different species that we would have never seen on our own (boa, white faced capuchins, tiger crabs, heron, vulture, bats etc) we always felt safe. There were 5 other people in the tour but it didn’t feel too big of a group. After the tour we had an included lunch at a local soda which was SOOOOO good. A great experience overall. Also there were boat tours happening at the same time but we were happy to be in the kayaks because we could go into tighter paths through the mangroves than the boats. Johnny was awesome!
Had lots of fun and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area!
We had an amazing experience! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the environment and ecosystems within the mangrove forest. We saw many beautiful birds and reptiles.
Exceptional knowledge of the ecosystem and its inhabitants. Great ability to find even the most reclusive!
We had a great experience with Javier as our guide. There were only two of us on this excursion so Javier took us through lots of little paths through the mangroves. We enjoyed it very much. Dinner at Soda Sanchez afterwards was also fantastic!
Johnny was great! Very fun and informative. Good experience with the family
We were lucky enough to see quite a few monkeys, crabs, bats, a beautiful hawk, and other wildlife. It was so peaceful and I loved being able to have my own kayak and how we were able to go at a slower pace. It was very relaxing and the mangroves are lovely.
Elliot was an excellent guide and very adept at spitting animals I otherwise wouldn't have noticed. The experience was all around very peaceful, informative, and enjoyable. I learned much about the importance of the mangrove ecosystem and the flora and fauna that inhabit it.
Anderson did a great job! He was very informative and passionate about the wildlife. He took us on quite an adventure through the mangroves to see all kinds of wildlife. Highly recommend this trip!
Great experince with Anderson - we saw lots of monkeys, crabs and birds!
