Mangroves Tour and Bioluminescence Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Jony was our guide for both the Kayak mangroves tour and the bioluminescent tour and it was amazing. He took the time to answer our questions and explain the history behind it.

Kayak Trip

Published on Mar, 2024

Our tour guide Abraham gave us a first rate kayak experience. We saw many different species of birds including Osprey and Herons, crocodiles, and fish. And to finish we saw the island sunset.

Great tour with Jonny!

Published on Dec, 2023

We had a great tour in the mangroves at sunrise with Jonny. We booked the day before and in the end it was just us - a private tour! We saw flamingos at sunrise - don’t go in the afternoon as they usually have all gone by then. Jonny knew a lot about the birds and he even gave advice to another guide with a different company who we saw touching and hurting a crab. He was polite but firm and the other guide thanked him for the advice. He explained to us that the best thing is not to touch the animals at all - totally agree! We booked with Arial who gave us lots of information about different options and we were happy overall with our choice.

Amazing sunsrise tour with flamingos and crocodiles!

Published on Jul, 2023

The tour was incredible! Jonatan picked us up at the hostel and brought us to Punta Mosquito, where the kayaks were waiting for us. Normally, I am not a morning person, but waking up for the sunrise was so worth it! There was such a sense of tranquility, and we were even the first on the water, so felt like we were completely alone. The tour guide had such incredible knowledge about the wildlife and took us to spot flamingos, crocodiles and other birds. After a few hours of kayaking, we took a break, and were given snacks and water. We also got some beautiful pictures taken of us! The only thing worth mentioning, is that this tour requires a certain level of physical fitness. For active adventure seekers, this tour is an absolute must!
