5.00We paddled to the other side of the lake and also went ashore for a bit. Then we went back. It is also suitable for beginners. We communicated in English. Our guide was very friendly, showed us a lot, and was able to answer all questions. It was really fun.
Perfect, go ahead with your eyes closed

5.00This tour was very informative about the local ecosystem and the variety of plants. They also kindly accommodated us with a heavier person in the kayaks. I would highly recommend this if you want to know about the local area.
Very good time...

5.00The experience is unique, led by a mega sympathetic and empathetic young leader who does it wholeheartedly and is insanely knowing. Everything is declared, everyone is taken away and there are only positives z report. It is highly recommended.
A worthwhile tour on the Mitanteich 👍😎🫶

5.00We had a great kayak tour with Chani. She taught us a lot about the plants and animals of the mangroves. The tour took place in French and English (especially for us :-). We could understand everything very well. Paddleboarding was relaxed and easy to handle. The reception with Francis was very nice. He could even speak German. We had a lot of fun and would do the tour again at any time.
