“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.”

No explanations were given about the park at all. He didn’t even come with us into the bat cave. Most importantly, do NOT listen to them: DO NOT BRING SNACKS. The “guide” will take you to an isolated island for 40 minutes without warning you that it is full of monkeys. The monkeys will attack you and try to steal your food. The guide didn’t…”
