I could only give this 5 stars, but actually it deserves 100! - We were in Colombia for 2 weeks, but this was absolutely my favorite part! We were met at our hotel, right on time, and had a nice drive to the mangroves. Our tour guide met us right away and explained EVERYTHING. Although my friend and I often have an aversion to canoes, (I'm 67 and a bit "stiff") we were helped in and out of our boat, and it was quite comfortable seating. Our boat "pilot" was wonderful, sometimes walking the boat, other times in it, pushing with a pole. Mangrove water is quite shallow in parts. We learned all about the different types of mangrove plants and animals. We went to Fisherman's Island, which is a small sanctuary. We walked around, learning about the turtles, birds, and plants that lived there (plus a cat!) We sat in the shade, in a gazebo, and experienced the music, dance, and drinks of the locals. They even had skirts for us to wear and dance with them! After our island tour, we took our boat to where some locals were fishing. We watched as they threw their nets and pulled them in. We even got to try a few times! We caught some crabs and I caught a shrimp! So much fun! We travelled through a few mangrove "tunnels" on our way back to civilization. From there we were a short car ride to a local restaurant where we each ate a full red snapper fish lunch that was probably caught that morning. Lunch was unbelievably tasty! Our tour guide ate with us and was so entertaining, telling us about the local mangrove life here. It was sad to leave our new mangrove friends. Our ride back to our hotel went without issues. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience in Cartagena - This tour is a beautiful experience. The tour organizers are clear communicators, sending careful instructions and are responsive. We arranged for a pickup at our hotel, which is a great service they offer, and then enjoyed a brief history of the area, mangrove tour, fishing lesson, great conversation, lunch, beach time and much more. We learned so much about the ecosystem and the way the community is working hard to preserve the area for animals and residents. We are so grateful for the opportunity to meet the team and learn about their area. Definitely recommend to all.

Excellent immersive experience! - Highly recommend this experience! Jamie offered insight into the mangroves, the community and life. Dancing, feeding tarp, learning about turtles and enjoying a delicious mojarra lunch added to the full immersion. And as a solo traveler, I felt safe throughout the booking, pickup and experience.

The best day we had in Cartagena! - If there was an option for 7 stars we would give that! Jamie was such a lovely and involved guide. She showed us the other side of Cartagena. The Mangroves are wonderful and La Boquilla has by far the best beaches of the city. We had loads of laughs with Jamir and Jamie on and in the water. If you are looking for an authentic tour in Cartagena don’t miss this one!

El Major! The Best authentic experience! - This was a truly authentic and fun experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. She was very detailed with the tour. She made sure we had a good time and took care of every detail from a timely pick up to explanation of all the environmental aspects through the mangrove tour and cheering us on when we tried fishing with a net. Seemingly easy but actually very hard! The lunch was delicious and way more than we could eat. I highly recommend this experience!

A good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Daniela is truly an amazing host! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The trip was extremely professional, fun, and a unique opportunity to explore. I would highly recommend this excursion with Daniela, she really knows how to make you feel welcome!

A unique and different place - I enjoyed this experience very much, the host gives you a lot of warmth, they are attentive to you all the time, the food was wonderful and the view that the place offers is great, but my favorite part of this entire tour was enjoying the boat ride along the community, I have no words to express what I felt, you feel so connected with nature, it is an inexplicable experience, it generates so much peace, so much tranquility, it feels like a spa day, it was really very good, I recommend it, don't you will regret it

Great day in Cartagena - Absolutely a great experience with Andres our guide. Andres met us at the cruise port and saved us from being attacked by the multitude of taxi drivers. The fried fish lunch that was provided with soup, rice, salad and patacones was fantastic! Some beach time after lunch. The tour through the mangroves was fun, beautiful and interesting! This tour lived up to everything advertised and more. Truly, one of the best tours I have ever participated in and I've been on over 100 cruises and done many excursions. Highly highly recommended.

A great activity in the city! - This experience was wonderful from start to finish, if you want to know something beyond the traditional in Cartagena you HAVE to do this experience, they picked me up at my hotel and in just 15 minutes I had arrived, the beach is really as they describe it, free tourist, vendors and very very relaxing, I could be there all day, lunch was the best I have had in Cartagena, it felt very fresh, natural and traditional (it is also included in the cost), then we moved to the of the mangrove, on the way I was able to see a little of the traditional town, when I arrived it was beautiful and everyone was friendly, I still can't decide what the best part of this experience was but it was really magical, I had never seen an ecosystem like this before, I learned a little about nature, dancing, and as if that were not enough, they taught me how to fish! This is truly an experience that everyone should live!

Great time! - Our family of three (9year old) really enjoyed this tour. You get to see a part of Cartagena you may not see otherwise. Everyone was very friendly. We loved Jamie our guide.
