This is a great, educational tour. It's very laid back and the demographic we had on our boat was older. It's more about learning about the ecosystem and animals the jungle holds. It's quiet, slow, calm. The company that puts this tour/trip on fed us back at their home base and the meal was delicious! Everyone was very helpful, nice, and very well educated about their work.

Als wir pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt wurden und sofort allen vorgestellt wurden ging die Fahrt im Minibus schon lehrreich voran.Da ich nicht kayAken konnte fuhren wir zu 5 sicher per Boot durch den unglaublich interessanten Märchensumpf. Mein Freund und ich waren mit Maco William und Praktikantin unterwegs.Da man nach 3 Wochen CR weis das die Tiere um die Tageszeit meistens schlafen ist für mich ein Ausflug nicht mit der Anzahl der Tiere zu bewerten. William beschrieb uns das ganze System gut und verständlich.Da er auch deutsch Sprach und er sehr lustig ist wurde der Ausflug zu einem tollen Erlebnis.Als wir dann auch noch das Mittagessen in Hülle und Fülle frisch zubereitet genieSen durften , fiel der Abschied um so schwerer.Danke
