What an amazing tour with Fiona today! She was tremendously friendly, informative and helpful and we loved seeing the inner workings of the mangroves and the beautiful dolphins (from a respectful distance)… loved every minute of our journey, highly recommended.
Summer mornings are calmest. In winter wear a windbreaker and check weather updates.
