Great guided tour -both English and French spoken. Three hours flies by exploring the mangroves and spotting the iguanas. The team from MKG gave us great tips for rest of our holiday as well

We had one of the most memorable tours of our lives on this mangrove kayaking adventure. The entire experience felt magical from start to finish. The quiet pond looked mystical and almost otherworldly — like stepping into a hidden, untouched corner of nature. Paddling through the mangroves and into the palm forest was peaceful, beautiful, and truly unique. This wasn’t just a tour — it was an experience full of wonder and awe. Highly recommended to anyone who loves nature, beauty, and unforgettable moments. 🌿🛶

Mitan Pond is a beautiful and unspoilt place that deserves to be discovered. And Francis, who is a well of science on local flora and fauna, passed on his passion to us with a good mood overflowing. Very good relaxing and informative time in a surprising green setting.
