Stunning, unspoiled scenery

Baher_A, Apr 2023
Absolutely stunning scenery. Like being dropped in a prehistoric lagoon. I was ready for a giraffe or dinosaur to appear.

Exceptional sunrise

Catherine_K, Feb 2023
The sunrise was memorable. Good kayaking and a pleasant host .. we had expected a much more variety and numbers of birds especially as being sold as a bird trip

Response from Host, May 2023

Wonderful kayaking experience.

We had a beautiful sunrise paddle in a warm and very calm laguna. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide pointed out the many types of birds we saw, and a few iguanas too. It was great that the transportation to and from was also included.
