Gur guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the National park and willing to share this with his guests As a fisherman himself he knew and was prepared to share his understanding in a very friendly and easy way . He was prepared to take us into his family home and feed his guests with some of the families local produce
green sparkly wine and oysters, fantastic !!

Je recommande chaudement de faire cette découverte avec Rota Das Ilhas !
Bravo et merci
