Our guides were extremely accommodating and made sure we saw dolphins in the harbor, toured the island - the amount of birds was incredible! They even took us to a cacao plantation afterward on the way home where we were able to see the process in which cacao is produced and even drank some of their local cacao drink that was more like a slushee. They went out of their way to ensure we had a great day.
Great tour of the bay w/ dolphins and crab lunch

Such a great tour! Yamil and Simon were so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. They even sent us photos of the group, animals on the tour, and candid shots. We were able to see dolphins and many different species of birds. Fun tour for kids and adults interested in nature.

We had a great day on the mangrove tour with Simon and Yamil. Simon picked us up at our hotel and told us about the city of Guayaquil and Ecuador as we drove out of the city. It was a delightful trip to Puerto Morro about an hour from Guayaquil. Once on the boat ride, learned about fishing on the river, the mangroves, and the lovely birds. The dolphins were amazing. They popped up from the water, swam and played around the boat. We returned to Puerto Morro and had lunch at a local restaurant. We feasted on ceviche, fresh crab that Yamil ordered for us and plantains. It was a feast! We had to cut the tour a little short because we had to be back in Guayaquil for another tour. Simon and Yamil accommodated our needs. They also responded to my inquiries and were perfect hosts. If you have a chance, book this tour. You will not be disappointed.
Fun trip

We spend a wonderful day touring Porto morro and a boat riding to this bird island. Our guide Simon and Yamil are amazing. On the way back, they took us to a private ranch for a late lunch and it was a quite interesting experience as well. Strongly recommend this trip!
