5.00We were lucky to have the company of Simon and Eddie who accompanied us all day on a beautiful tour that included a visit to the Mosque, the chocolate factory (very good!) and finally took us to the river where thanks to them we spotted the nose monkeys, crocodiles and fireflies! I recommend queato tour for the beauty of the place and for the great attention that our guides have offered us.

5.00An excursion that is definitely worth a visit, especially thanks to our guide Timmy. The first step is not necessarily the best but it’s nice DE see the Floating Mosque (we are not EN there, you have to pay to rent the covering clothes...) but luckily there was a marquee in the shade to wait for the rest of the group... The visit to the Kingdom of Cocoa was nice, we even wanted to see more about the fruit, the manufacturing process DE before the shop... but we bought some chocolates (not given anyway...). Then came the stage that we are waiting for dil’s (and the best DE the day): after 1:30 DE car, we arrive to take the canoe and walk on the river after a local snack break: banana fries (super good). Wonder DE see nassic monkeys so close DE us, without having the rush DE other boats, but also, a crocodile, macaques, varans etc... superb moment... then head to the beach for a beautiful sunset... certainly a little too many people on the page but it was worth it. Then back in the night with the fireflies on the river, precious mom ENt to finish with a great local buffet in privacy on the banks DE the river. A guide who was at the top with his explanations, his cultures and his kindness (Timmy). A beautiful busy day 🩵 Thank you Timmy!
Amazing experience all...
