Best day ever 🤩 - Best experience we had while here! Absolutely loved it! John was the most wonderful host and tour guide! This was highlight of our trip!! Thank you!!

Great Food, Great People, Fun Experience - As many before me have written this is a wonderful experience. John, our intrepid and good looking guide, helped us explore some true Colombian culture. On top of marginally learning the art of net casting and correct baiting and location for crab pots, I learned firsthand the honesty and friendliness of the local fisherfolk. I dropped my iPhone in the waist deep water and swore a lot. A total of seven locals stopped everything to look for it going as far as spreading a 20 meter fishing net to drag the bottom. Unfortunately it was lost. Thank goodness I took out phone insurance this time. I declared the phone lost and we took our fish and crab catch to some other locals to book and feed us. While eating our spectacular fresh caught lunch John received a phone call. The fisherfolk had continued to search and had found my phone. The fisherman showed up about 15 minutes later with my phone! Incredible!! John had urged me not to lose hope. To top it off, the phone was still powered on and functioning perfectly. Yes, I gave the man a reward!

10/10 The best tour in Cartagena. Hands down! - Best tour we experienced in Columbia. We did many many tours and this crabbing tour is a winner. Our translator John was the best and we went crabbing, fishing, saw beautiful nature, met incredibly friendly locals and fishermen. Ate a delicious lunch on the beach and just felt at peace. This is the tour that all nature and culture lovers should experience. 10/10. Perfect! Thank you for an excellent experience!

Great get away - What a great experience to get in touch with some parts of the local community and explore nature and culture. Thank you for providing this service. Highly appreciated

10/10 experience, we... - 10/10 experience, we would do it again! Great guide/translator. It was the best thing we have done on our trip.

Great experience! - We’ve been on a lot of excursions and this one was truly one of the best! Great experience by being able to do real things that the locals do everyday. Our guide Andres became a friend. Could not give this adventure a higher recommendation!

Perfect family experience for when you're tired of the big city - A truly memorable experience in an amazing ecological treasure. This is our favorite tour we took during our two week family trip in Colombia; the standouts were that this was an activity that could be enjoyed by my 86 year old Father in Law as well as my 9 year old child. We did not want an 8 hour trip so this was the perfect length, we had time in the morning for our adventure and to head home and rest during the hottest part of the day. The canoe ride is peaceful and calm and I recommend starting out as early as possible to take advantage of the cool and quiet in the Mangrove forest. We all tried out casting the nets for fishing in the traditional fashion as well as enjoyed crabbing. It was lovely to see the water foul and feel the Caribbean breeze as we gently navigated the waterways. Andres is a perfect guide, switching seamlessly between Spanish and impeccable English, has loads of patience and a sense of humor. He and Michael have perfect communication and make it easy to ask questions and provide lots of detail if you are a planner! The only thing I would have changed is packed a midmorning snack as we started out so early and ate lunch around noon, but besides that we were provided a very comprehensive list of what to bring and the lunch was fresh, delicious, and fun to eat beachside. We were treated with such warmth by the fishermen and our guide, our family left grateful we were able to catch a glimpse into this magical natural preserve. Don't be shy to reach out to ask specific questions from this tour, they have no communication barriers and are open to explain all aspects, they were willing to help create an experience that worked for all of us.

Educational and Engaging! - We had such a wonderful experience with Andre as our English guide and Daniel as our expert boat fisherman. We learned so much about the mangroves, the wildlife, and the people in the area. Daniel was patient in teaching us how to cast a net to catch fish and we caught well over 20 crabs with the traps. This is a must do, especially for people with children. I think they will really enjoy the hands on experience.

Crabbing! - This was an awesome experience. The key was the guide Andres. He was very knowledgeable and shared the info in a perfect conversational way. He was very receptive to any requests we had including driving us through the congested Old Town on the way back to the ship. The harvesting of the crabs was memorable as we dropped the traps in the shallow water nad then returned 15 minutes later to retrive the traps and dump the crabs into a bucket. We also stood calf deep in the water and cast a circular fishing net. Unfortunately we did not catch any fish! Once we returned to shore, we headed to a small, local restaurant on the beach where they cooked the crabs which we had for lunch along with a locally caught fish. We are always looking for a "real" experience and this was definitely one of them!

Everything we hoped it would be!! - We unanimously agreed that this was the best excursion on our recent trip to Cartagena! John took good care of us and was friendly and knowledgeable. The experience itself was so much fun between setting and pulling up the crab traps in addition to learning to cast a net. The island that we took a break on was a great break out of the sun between the music and the bartender making a fantastic coco loco! We also loved the meal we had at the end and playing with the dogs. I Would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks John!
