Stacy_N, Sep 2026
Beautiful tour, great experienced guide
Ivan was an extremely knowledgeable guide and shared the history and significance of the estuary. He pointed out birds, native trees and plants, and went out of his way to find several crocodiles. We also had the chance to hike a very short distance into the trees to see more than a dozen monkeys taking a "siesta" in the trees. On the way back, Ivan provided cold drinks and fresh pineapple. Highly recommend this excursion!

Chocolate/coffee tour -- Thumbs up
This was an educational and fun tour. Easy walk for my 84 year old mom, and interesting for any age. Danny was our guide, and he did a great job of explaining the local history. We learned a lot about the basics of chocolate and coffee via explanation and through demonstrations. Especially fun that we got to taste the various chocolates! Thank you Danny for making this tour memorable.
