Insightful boat ride - Lovely trip with Carlos at the helm. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. We set off 15 mins late but still had over an hour and we got a good flavour of the ongoing conservation activity. Good value.

Too short to enjoy. - Could have been interesting, but we did not see much. I know we signed up for the short one, but still, it took us 15-20 minutes to board so it did not leave us we a lot of time to explore the lagune on an 1 hour experience. On the good note, our captain was very savvy and nice.
