Kayaking the mangroves was an awesome experience. Alex was the best. - Had a great time learning about the local mangrove ecosystem. Alex our guide was awesome and super knowledgeable. It was a bit windy when we went, but the waters where the mangroves were located were relatively calm. Alex also did a great job of narating during our 20 minute drive to and from the site. THis was a small group experience that really made it a great experience. Thanks Alex!!! Highly recommend this tour. :-)
