Great time along the river and saw lots of wildlife
This was booked with Blue Pass via our agent. There were 6 of us in the rubber dingy as we slowly made our way along the river. Our guide (David) was excellent and very knowledgeable. Obviously you cannot guarantee wildlife but we saw plenty of monkeys, Cayman, lizards and birds. We did a bit of paddling to help out at times. At the end you are taken to a local diary farm for a selection of fruit and cake. Would really recommend this trip and had a great time and well organised and arranged.
