This trip was absolutely perfect even though it was a very windy day. Carlos and Marta were great hosts, providing lots of information and pointing out the wildlife. Highly recommended.

Very Pleasant & interesting trip. Bit of a mix up as my booking had not gone through, and I not listed, but was sorted by helpful & professional staff on site. 👍 Carlos was excellent guide and had lots of information to share re wild life on marshes, tides etc.. Was so good to have a guide who has genuine interest in what they are showing.. great to see ongoing conservation of this area …. Enjoy!

It was such a wonderful day. Carlos is a really good guide, he told a lot of information about birds and local ecosystem. I'll definitely recommend this trip to my friends.

Carlos was a great guide. He was personable and knowledgeable. I liked seeing the stork, learning about the violin crab and exploring the two islandS.

We did the dolphin viewing and trip to 2 islands trip, and it was amazing! Carlos and Melinda were great guides, told us all about the bird species as well as the dolphins. We were lucky as we saw the dolphins straight away and got to spend a good half an hour watching them, such a great experience. We were able to spend 1.5/2 hours on the 2 islands too - isla Deserta and isla Farol which were both lovely. We went swimming off isla Deserta, then to a great local restaurant on isla Farol, recommended by Carlos. Overall a wonderful time, definitely a highlight to our trip. We got back from the tour around 14:30, so more like 6 hours, definitely good value for money.

Our guide, Carlos, really made it very interesting to learn about the influence the tides and grasslands have on the fish and crabs and birds. We were able to see the change from low to high tide during the day. We had fun on a nice beach and a delicious lunch on the island at a restaurant.

Just come back from a great day out on the boat skippered by Carlos who was full of information about the area. The tour was a little over 4 hours, we headed out to the nature reserve, saw lots of Fiddler Crabs and other animals, did some snorkeling and went to a decent restaurant on the little island. Well worth going out for the day and doing this.

This was an excellent tour of the lagoon and out island. Lots of information on the animals/bird life/ nature of the lagoon and beyond. Stops at one of the deserted islands and the old fisherman's village (for lunch). The guide was very informative and had a great interaction with his passengers. This was on a small boat so not too many people which made it easy to interact and ask questions. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous tour, Carlos was a great guide, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great to spend time on the islands and learn all about the eco system. The boat ride was a great thing to do in a hit day. Def recommend this tour.

Amazing experience, we saw dolphins! The host was so nice & educated. Saw loads of different species of birds and their habitats. Also had lots of time to chill on the islands. It was great as a solo activity too.
