It was excellent. Memo was a great guide as well as Alan as the boat captain. He was very knowledgeable & jovial. We learned about lizards, bats, iguanas, snakes, birds, water buffalo and monkeys. We also saw all of those species. Highlight was the teenage gang (14) of monkeys that showed their antics and even came on our boat and tried to steal my hat.

We just had an absolutely phenomenal mangrove tour with Johnny as our amazing guide. He was excited to answer all questions, had a ton of knowledge about the local ecosystem and animals. We saw monkeys, sloths, crocodile, lizards, and a boa constrictor. When I mentioned that my 9yo son really wanted to see a mangrove crab, he prioritized it, and we saw one within minutes. One important thing to know is that other boats run this tour, but they don’t do it ethically. For example, they hand feed monkeys so that tourists can get a picture, but that can make monkeys very sick. This company is very ethical - you will get a very up close view of the animals with amazing pictures, safely for you and the animals.
