Fantastic time. Mark and Fabia are wonderful and knowledgeable people. We learned so much and saw so many creatures! On our outing we encountered stingrays, dolphins, sea cucumbers, sea snails, upside down jellyfish, etc. Choose this tour and you can't go wrong.

Great day exploring the mangroves and kayaking.

Kirstie_C, Nov 2024

Mark was an excellent guide! We learned so much about mangroves. I highly recommend this tour. The kayaks were a lot nicer than ones offered by other tours. Nice adjustable chairs, room for a cooler, a place to store items under your seat and the paddles were super light.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m thrilled to know that you enjoyed learning about the mangroves and found the kayaks comfortable and well-equipped. It was an enjoyable day filled with conversations about the area and the eco-systems. I’m so glad your experience memorable. How lucky were we to see dolphins just a few feet away during the tour? It's always such a treat to witness them in their natural habitat. I know you will be back to the area again so please come back for another adventure!

Amazing day trip!

Amazing experience with Mark and Fabia. They were knowledgeable and friendly. The best part is no need for cameras they take pics and videos for you and sent them within 30-60 minutes of the adventure ending. Don’t miss out on this one

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your kind words and your recommendation! We're so glad you had an amazing experience. We truly enjoy engaging in discussions about the area’s wildlife and our amazing mangrove forests. It’s always a great day when a manatee pops its nose out to breath, we’re so happy you got to witness this thrill from a kayak. We're happy to hear you appreciated the photos and videos—they do make it so easy to relive the adventure! We hope to see you again soon!

Mark and Fabian are wonderful guides, very knowledgeable and helpful and efficient. Patient with everyone, took lots of extra time. So many creatures and so much ecology! Relaxing, educational and fun trip

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you so much Laurie for your review! We had a day full of birds and marine life from a tree full of Ibises to dolphins, sea stars and more. We only do one tour each day so that we don’t have to be in a hurry and everyone can relax. We strive to make our trips both educational and enjoyable, so it's wonderful to know that we succeeded. Come back and see us, we would enjoy seeing you again!

Great experience
