10/10 recommend! - Omari was a wonderful and knowledgable guide. Like many touristic activities in the area, you have many choices of boat and guide, but that doesn'e mean you get the same experience. I would highlighy recommend going with this one for a beautiful, educational tour through the mangroves, where safety, respectful engagement with the environment, and a comprehensive understanding of the area and its communities are a priority!

The experience was great.... - The experience was great. Amori, our guide, had the background knowledge of the Mangroves very well and was interesting to here about it. He followed through until we had the transport back to our place which was very nice as well.

Beautiful excursion - Beautiful and very suitable to relax and just enjoy nature. Watching with the trunk through the river and lots of birds and other animals is just great. Our boatman Josef also explained a lot to us and when he then steers the boat so calmly with the staff through the river, you come to rest very well.
