Had a great time. Booked with islands 4 you. Ricardo was the guide and kept us comfortable while explaining the route and what we saw. We stopped at 2 islands with plenty of time to explore and returned enjoying the sunset with music going on

I had a great experience on the boat with Ricardo and Sandra really helped me with all the right information about it. The trip was worth it, seeing two islands and the sunset.

It was a very pleasant boat trip. The guide knew a lot to tell and was friendly and helpful. The sunset was beautiful to see from the boat. We were glad we had chosen this.

Tour very complete to know the estuary Formosa and the islands that separate it from the ocean. Free time to tour two of the islands, Deserta and Lantern (one half hour each). Wonderful sunset.
