Seriously - if you’re passing through David on your way to Boquete or elsewhere, take the time to stay a few hours and do this tour. Hector and Yuan took us out for a few hours this afternoon and the tranquility and beauty was certainly a highlight of our time in Panama. We saw amazing wildlife including crabs, two different types of monkeys, and incredible birds - even an osprey and duck-billed heron. The coffee break (literally!) was a perfect rest to stretch our legs and enjoy the scenery and shade. To top it all off, Hector sent a file of professional-grade photos and videos throughout the day. A few tips: - the kayaking was not difficult and the waters are calm, so don’t worry about how extreme it will be - we had two single kayaks, would recommend that over a double

I enjoyed sunrise kayaking with Hector. It’s important to know that the time selected is not exact - you need to leave at high tide in order to kayak in the mangroves. The kayak is a relaxed pace and beginner-friendly - more about enjoying the surroundings than getting in a workout! I recommend this tour!

Hello Emily how are you doing? Im so happy to know that you've enjoyed the tour!! exactly, as you said.. we need to make the tour in high tide to take advantage of everything inside the mangroves!! Thank you so much for your words regards
