Great private mangrove tour with David - Great tour with David. No one else showed up, so it was a private tour; that was a treat. David was a phenomenal guide and gave us a lot of information about the birds and animals and the mangrove ecosystem. We saw flamingos, ospreys, ibises, and more. Going in was with the current, so we came out against it, which was challenging, but we did it. Highly recommend this tour and David.

A tour worth taking - We had a magical time, learned something new, and got some exercise. Our guide was as entertaining as he was informative.

AMAZING - This tour was amazing! David is a wonderful tour leader--so knowledgeable and passionate about the local ecosystem. Be prepared to kayak for a while, but the tour leaders were always checking in and open to taking breaks when anyone needed. Wear lots of sunscreen. We saw lots of cool wildlife--crocodiles, sting rays, and so many beautiful birds.

Beautiful - We did the Kayak tour with the owner of the company. Just him and me and my girlfriend. Kayaking through the mangroves is really beautifull. We saw a croc and a lot of flammingo's and other birds. When kayaking in those mangroves you experience real nature and peacefullnes. My girlfriend and I shared a two person kayak. It's a three hour tour. If you focus on the technique of kayaking it's not so difficult. Take some suncream and a hat and a shirt to protect you from the sun. For the rest enjoy!

Great tour! No pick up or drop off. - Very informative, worth the trip. Best kayak tour I’d you like nature. Would give it a 5 star but they say they drip you back at your hotel but they don’t. Expectation setting was off but still a great tour.

Calm and Serene - We booked this tour because I wanted to get a closer look at nature and the flamingos that are said to be out there. For starters, our guide arrived almost 45 minutes late, we got started on our tour and saw a few birds but nothing else. On our way back, the tide was high and the water was coming in towards the river, making it difficult to advance. The serenity of kayaking alone through the mangroves was super cool, I just wouldn't pay again when I could just rent a kayak and do it on my own.
