The boat tour was fantastic! Edgar, our guide, was very friendly and passionate, providing us with a wealth of fascinating information throughout the journey. The captain was also superb.
Edgar was fantastic, ensuring he addressed all our queries while being friendly and informative. He and our boat driver were very kind to my six and eight-year-old granddaughters, making sure we encountered plenty of wildlife. The highlight for them was seeing the monkeys up close. I highly recommend this tour!
I had a great time and would definitely recommend it. Kenneth was an excellent guide.
We encountered many animals during the tour. Kenneth was an excellent guide. Pura vida!
Many thanks to Kenneth for an exceptional tour and his warm hospitality. We encountered numerous animals, including monkeys, sloths, and crocodiles. It was a delightful, refreshing, and enlightening experience that we truly enjoyed.
The tour was incredible. We encountered a wide variety of animals, and Kenneth was an outstanding guide, identifying many creatures we would have missed, including monkeys, crocodiles, bats, and sloths. The boat provided an opportunity to get closer to the wildlife than anywhere else on our trip. We also enjoyed a delicious meal at a local restaurant afterward.
What an incredible experience! It’s a must-do. Kenneth was fantastic and made the outing even better.
Elias, our guide, was both friendly and knowledgeable, and we encountered a variety of wildlife including raccoons, birds, a caiman, snake, lizards, and monkeys. The boat ride was tranquil, surrounded by beautiful mangrove forests, and Captain Jean Carlos truly excelled. He even ventured into the water and mud to maneuver the boat out of a shallow area, ensuring a smooth trip for everyone. It was a wonderful experience overall.
FOFO was an excellent guide. I appreciated how thoroughly he explained everything. I highly recommend choosing him for your tour.
The guides were friendly and had a lot of knowledge. Although the water in the mangroves was somewhat murky in areas with slow flow, we mostly traveled with the current, making for an enjoyable experience. It may be beneficial to have some kayaking experience due to denser sections of the mangroves. The lunch at the restaurant afterward was outstanding.
