First timers - My husband and I had a great experience crab fishing for the first time and seeing the magnificent mangroves up close! This tour is highly recommended. We learned a lot about how most locals fish. Our guides taught us how to cast a net to catch bait for our crab cages. At first I didn’t want to get in the water because I couldn’t see my feet but after I put that out of my mind I enjoyed my time thoroughly! After catching crabs we were brought back to shore and was provided nice refreshing drink of coconut water from the coconut. My only suggestion, is to maybe offer an opportunity to have our catch of the day cooked.
