Canoe / Snorkel Tour Mangroves

3.00We booked the 2 hour canoe snorkel tour through the mangroves. It was very beautiful to canoe through the mangroves. The little bit of snorkeling didn’t add much for me personally. It is nice to see the fish swimming at the bottom of the roots. But they are mostly the same fish that I have already seen everywhere in the sea, little innovative. I found it in retrospect that the price was on the high side, than what you actually get / do for it. Luckily I had a discount through tripadvisor. Because if you book and pay through the original website, it is scumbag expensive. I booked a Dutch tour. But because there was a bunch of English, and the rest of the group was Dutch. We still got an English tour. I also found it very antisocial / scumbag that they dare to ask for a tip after the canoe tour.

5.00The tour was very informative and friendly and relaxed. We also enjoyed snorkelling and seeing juvenile fish. Watching the turtles in the shallows as we paddled by was a bonus.
Great paddle and snorkel

5.00Beautiful, unspoiled mangroves, with great underwater life that is different from what you see in the reefs - so, it is a complimentary trip to your expected underwater activities. As a wonderful bonus, many flamingos near the Center, grown-up and young, so you can see how they change the color when they grow. Very well organized, with a friendly and knowledgeable guide.
Don't if you're not fit

1.00Informed personally at the center if we could do this because we are heavy and hardly exercise. No problem according to them. Don't if you're not fit. You have to cross large areas of open water with large currents 3 times. That's quite a challenge. We were not helped and had to see that we got there. Missed all explanations because they left immediately for the next piece. We passed this on to the supervisor afterwards and the reaction was: well, if you can’t keep up and arrive last then you miss the explanation!
