Mop was an amazing guide - very interesting and great at spotting animals. They were very flexible with us as we got the day wrong and went one day late and they let us join the tour!

Saul was fantastic! So knowledgeable and detailed with his descriptions and backstories. Loves seeing him work his fellow guides to share experiences with us. A beautiful park. Thank You for sharing it.

Brilliant tour. There is so much to see in the park - it’s so much easier with a guide to spot things and also see things close up with his equipment. Our guide, Mop, was excellent and he took some fantastic photos and footage along the way of the animals. Recommend an early tour if you want to spend ages at the beach as access to beaches closes at 3pm!

We really liked the park and we could observe beyond the (beautiful) landscape, the fauna, in more detail. Our guide, Saul, was well prepared and was very familiar with the fauna and flora!

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Mop who showed us so many cool animals. I know we would never have seen them without his help and expertise and it was a really special experience. The photos he sent us afterwards were amazing too! Thanks again.

Mop was amazing! We saw lots of animals that we would have never seen without him. Not only did we get to see them through his scope but he also took lots of videos and pictures for us on his phone and then airdropped them to us at the end. He was also great with answer all of our 10 year olds questions during the tour.
