Long live the mangroves and their people - I loved getting to know the mangrove area with the local people. The walk is done by canoe, which is very relaxing.

Get off the beaten path! - This tour was so different and thoroughly enjoyable. Yeimy was so engaging and we loved being welcomed by her community. Loved the fishing, crabbing, dancing, and drums along with a few special surprises. I highly recommend this.

Learn something new - Truly an exceptional experience to visit a serene and peaceful ecosystem and share in the local traditions and culture. Jamie and Jamil are excellent tour guides. We had so much fun learning how to cast a handmade fishing net and trap crabs, and learn cumbia and marenge dance moves from n fisherman’s island. We also made a new friend “Andres”. Communication, lunch, and transportation are excellent. Highly recommended activity.
