Awesome experience
We had a great time with the guides and other guests kayaking through the mangroves. We saw a troop of monkeys climbing right above us, an anteater and other amazing wildlife. On the way to and from the hotel the guides also stopped to show us some beautiful macaw and sloth. 100% recommended!
