This is an easy paced kayak where you learn a lot about the trees in the mangrove forest and much more about the canal’s place in the ecosystem. Our guide Franklin was super: informative, engaging, funny. The lunch at the end was very good—the traditional chicken with rice and beans but also with nice vegetables and a small salad . My wife and I (both in our 70’s) were the only two on the tour and we felt really privileged to have this experience.

Franklin was friendly, helpful, and knew a lot about the wildlife of the mangroves. We saw many crabs, water birds, snakes, and learned about the ecosystem of the mangroves. The tour was small which made the experience tailored to our family. We saw other groups with so many people that it seemed like ir would’ve difficult for people to know what the guide was saying. Also Amigos del Rio time of th tour was based on the tides which was extremely important. We had friends use another group that did not do that and they got stuck in the too shallow water.

Very informative guide about the mangroves, trees etc which was interesting but we didn’t see any wildlife unfortunately apart from crabs and a couple of birds. We were the only 2 people on the tour.
A lovely lunch at the end.
