Espectacular encuentro con la naturaleza. Cerca a la ciudad muy buena opción para compartir con la tranquilidad de la naturaleza y los pescadores de la región. Enseñan las diversas técnicas de pesca. Y una gran opción
Para observar las aves de la región. Los lugareños muy cordiales.

This tour was fine. We were schedule for 9am and 3 days before I received communication requesting we move our tour to 3pm. This isn't very professional or realistic. We had a flight out that night, so we agreed on a 2pm tour. Turned out this tour was more of a float - it was lovely for sure. But, essentially zero tour guide information and no information about fishing and the local people. It was a nice float and a nice hour, but not what was billed and frustrating to have the time changed on us.

Nice day in the mangroves. Everything went smooth from the pick-up to the tasty coconut at the end.
Also, the fishing and the crab hunting was lots of fun. I recommend adding this.
This tour is definitely one of my Cartagena highlights.
