Fun day

Maria_B, Dec 2024
Jean Pierre and his captain were great. So much information, and they both had a good eye for spotting animals. We saw a few crocodiles, monkeys, many birds, iguanas, and more. A nice time out on the river.

This trip was one of my favorite things. We saw many birds, monkeys, crabs, and the best part is when you turn the corner of the river and all of a sudden you are in the ocean. This was a magnificent photo op. Absolutely loved it.
