Fun!

My wife and I had so much fun paddling in both the open water and through the mangrove tunnels! My wife saw a baby dolphin which just swam right up to her boat. The tours guides were very knowledgeable and helped understand the ecology of the mangroves.

Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly, professional. He and the other tour guide made our excursion fun and interesting. The mangrove tunnels are so much fun to go through. And we saw so much wild life! Low tide offers better view of shells etc. Looking forward to going again during high tide which provides more options for different routes.

This tour was amazing. Our guides Ryan and Jeanine were so knowledgeable and passionate about the area I have a whole new appreciation for the mangroves and backwaters. Not only was it fun but so educational as we came across different species of life in the area - birds, snails, crabs, starfish not to mention how the mangroves manage to exist etc. I would highly recommend and I can't wait to do this again.
