Even when the engine on our boat failed, he was quick to return to get us when we stranded in the water. My only complaint was that I was told that my cost for the amazing photos and pictures and video would only cost $120 (the guy who sold them to me asked for prior approval), someone went ahead and charged my card an additional $30. Not happy about that, and I have already taken steps to rectify the issue. You are better off paying cash for most…”

“We were looking for a jungle adventure and chose this one. We had a great experience. Our guide was funny, attentive and caring. Left the dock and headed out to the ocean to do some snorkeling. Unfortunately my wife and I opted out of that due to conditions. This was not an issue, he took those of us that wanted to explore the mangroves back to the mangrove swamp and left others with another guide to snorkel. We saw a few crocodiles, birds and other animals. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for something fun to do.”

“Activité sympa mais ce n’est pas vraiment dans la jungle. Ne vous attendez pas à voir beaucoup d’animaux. Il y avait un crocodile mais était-ce vraiment un vrai crocodile? Il n’avait pas l’air. Il était posé devant le portail d’une habitation. Je doute fortement. Il y avait deux iguanes perchés a un arbre. La majeure partie de l’activité consistait à faire plusieurs tours de bateau et le moment dans la jungle était assez court. Nous n’avons pas pu faire du snorkeling parce qu’oui y avait du vent. Ça peut être une bonne activité avec les enfants.”
