Carlos was fantastic! So knowledgeable on the mangroves and wildlife that live there. Expertly guided and so keen to ensure we saw a salt water crocodile, which we did, both of which from a safe distance. Would highly recommend.

Excellent way to see the mangroves and the wonderful wildlife. There was none there! Magical.
