Beach your kayak and explore the beach as the sun sets. At dusk, launch your kayak back into the final rays of the sun. Paddle back in as the twilight deepens, reaching the inner lagoon just as the increasing darkness allows the stars to shine.

You will learn many of the secrets of this complex ecosystem from your knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Safety pin - Excellent tour, you have to do it to enjoy a unique spectacle in nature. Go with clothing appropriate for getting wet and with shoes that you can leave on top of the transport because you have to enter the kayak barefoot. Don't stop doing this tour

Beautiful natural sight - A little rough ride to get there but didn’t spent the time not we were not picked up at the right time either (late) . We were rushed because they had people on board that had to be dropped off at a specific time which was great for them but not for us that we paid and had time to be able to spend our time there in this natural beauty we didn’t get to really enjoy. A long Ride to get there and too little time spent once we got there. The tour guy was nice. I tried to email the Company because we Felt cheated but no one replied or wrote back.

Ok tour not ok organization - We had booked for 9pm and they texted us last minute saying due to weather conditions had to move us to 7:30pm. We changed our plans for dinner and went to the ok tour. We got pissed when we met the 9pm group using the same van to pick us up. So it was not true the “weather conditions”.

Not professional - The tour guide brought his family to the tour which I thought was unprofessional. It started to rain hard and tour guide still wanted us to go out. Very nice guy but needs more CSR and professionalism.

Wouldn’t recommend - The bay is very over sold meaning the colors of the bio ah are no as bright. You need to walk through a marsh to get into the kayaks with water going up to your knees. But spray does you no good. Very over priced and over hyped.
