“It was exactly the type of tour we were looking for after looking around somebody the other options. We landed on this one because it seemed less gimmicky and focused on the nature and learning about the mangroves which is what we wanted. Mr Francis and his skipper were super profesional, knowledgeable and interesting. They knew so much. The tour itself was educational and beyond beautiful. We could not have asked for a better experience. We were able to see: monkeys, eagles, kites, bats, pipers, fiddler crabs, monitor lizards, mudskipper fish and even some otters! We are super happy to recommend this tour.”
