Perfect morning on the lagoon - The whole experience was fantastic. We were picked up by a driver at our hotel first thing in the morning and greeted by Didi, our guide, when we arrived at the lagoon. While kayaking, we saw an amazing variety of birds and learned a bit about the recent history of the lagoon. After a couple hours of paddling, ending with a visit to the open ocean, our driver was waiting back at the dock to take us back to our hotel. Would highly recommend:)

Surreal experience - Our guide and driver, Edmondo went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and safe. I cannot recommend this surreal bird watching experience enough. The tranquility you feel is worth the early trip/ kayaking. Must see if you’re in the area!!
