Extraordinary experience - Great experience since we were picked up at our hotel. Punctual and very friendly, our GUSTAVO Guide, super attentive to us and no all the time, friendly, knows perfectly what he does and rating the experience as well as enjoying what he does, which made us have a unique experience! We did the kayak bioluminescence tour at night and it was spectacular. Also kayaking among the mangroves and seeing the flamingos a great experience. Fully recommended!
