Peaceful tour I would book again - Enrique was an amazing and knowledgeable guide! He offered free transportation from our hotel as well as water and snacks. We ended up seeing not only many flamingos but also a crocodile. The whole experience was very peaceful, as there were very few other people in the Mangroves.

Best kayak tour ever !! - We went on the mangrove tour at dawn with Enrique, and it was absolutely AMAZING. Truly the best sunrise tour I’ve ever experienced. Enrique is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He explained everything to us, pointed out so many different bird species, and even went out of his way to help us spot crocodiles!
The atmosphere was so quiet and peaceful, like a suspended moment in time. The colors of the sunrise were breathtaking, and it felt like such a rare and privileged experience. We were only four people with our guide Enrique, so it wasn’t crowded or touristy at all; just pure magic.
I would recommend this tour 62993 times over!

Fantastic tour with Enrique - Enrique is an exceptional guide. We did a fantastic tour through the mangroves, warning pelicans, eagles, flamingos, cucarachas DE mar and even a nice crocodile. Unforgettable experience. Enrique allowed us to enjoy the whole tour in peace, giving us information and curiosities about the flora and fauna of the lagoon.

a lifetime experience - My tour guide David was amazing, you can really tell how much he cares about giving you the best experience ever. this was my first time kayaking and since it i was the only one on the tour i got to ride in the same kayak as him, which was great because he took many videos and pictures of everything we saw and later sent them to me after the tour :)
i was lucky enough to see a crocodile, flamingos, crabs and many fish and birds.
i suggest going in the morning.
i highly recommend this tour and if you can request David!

Impactful Bioluminence Tour!! - A spectacular tour, both David are very friendly people and give everything to have a spectacular tour. We could see the bioluminence, we kayaked inside the sea at night with a spectacular starscape. In addition David showed us a millennial crab that undoubtedly had a very particular shape. Back they recommended an excellent place to dine and took me to my hotel. Experience 10/10.
