Great tour with a lot of animals sightseeing! - We had a great boat tour in the estuary with Ivan today. We were lucky to see a good variety of birds, crocodiles and monkeys - both young animals and adults - and that was a wonderful experience. Also a funny moment with Ivan's humor, highly appreciated!

Wonderful excursion boat trip !! - The animal life we saw was amazing !!
Birds, crocodiles, iguanas, howler monkeys, huge termite nest in the mangrove trees and more.
We had our grandchildren with us and they enjoyed every minute.
Our guides sliced up fresh pineapples that were delicious after we took a stroll on the bank to see the howler monkeys in the trees.
Wonderful excursion !!

Mangrove boat tour with wildlife - You‘ll see lots of mangroves but also crocodiles, monkeys and maybe raccoons. Friendly boat driver, enthusiastic guide. Use a lot of insect repellent!!

Mellow and fun for the family - This was a fun, mellow tour. Ivan told us about the history of the reserve and the flora and fauna we encountered. We see some crocodiles, various birds, and some monkeys. A nice family experience for a chill day.

Highly recommend!! - Ivan was an amazing guide! Even on a rainy day, when the water visibility was low, he made sure we saw ample wildlife. Of course, it was fascinating to float alongside the crocodile and learn about the many birds of the area, but my favorite was sitting still in the boat while several families of baby raccoons made appearances in the mangroves all around us! Ivan also brought cold water for us and sliced up a couple of fresh pineapples that he brought for our enjoyment. I highly recommend this tour!!

Don't book! - Unfortunately, I can only agree with the negative reviews. The first half hour of the drive we got complex knowledge about mangroves, saw 3 birds and a few crabs. Then sometime out of the boat, 100 m into the forest to see some sluggish howler monkeys and 20 min later a mini crocodile in the mangrove roots, that’s it! For the ride advertised by the seller is of course with a 5 m long crocodile !!! For 50,- dollars per person this almost borders on tourist rip-off, please don't make, the money can be spent more sensibly! Sorry, but it wasn’t better! And it doesn't matter which provider, there are just no more animals!
