Die Tour startete erst um 12:30 und nicht um 06:00, wie es angegeben war. Ich wurde aber einen Tag vorher darüber informiert. Bei der Tour waren wir zu viert, es gab einzelne Kajaks und doppelte. Leider hat es bei uns geregnet und so haben sich keine Tiere gezeigt. Nach 1,5 Stunden war die reine Kajak Tour vorbei und wir wurden zu einem Restaurant gebracht, wo es ein leckeres einheimisches Gericht gab. Habe mich für Fisch entschieden und es war sehr lecker. Würde diese Tour bei Sonnenschein nochmal buchen.

We started at 12.30 and not 5.30 in the morning due to the tide. First we went to pick up all the guests and the kayaks and water for everybody and then drove around 15 minutes to the mangroves. The tour itself was almost 2 hrs and was really great. We did not see a lot of fauna because the tide was extremely high due to rains/full moon and I guess because of the time. However we learned a lot about the mangrove ecosystem from our very knowledgeable guide. After the tour (DO bring spare clothing and a towel, you’ll get wet), we went for a late lunch in the restaurant of Tucanes tours and then back to the hotel.

Our guides Daniel, Cesar, & our driver Carlos were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The water is very tame so it is easy to paddle and there was shade through much of the kayak tour. The tour leaves according to the high tide, so even though it initially said that the tour started at 0600 am, we got an email saying that we were not actually going to be picked up until 1150 am. They took us to have a buffet lunch first and then we drove about 10 minutes to Damas island where the kayaking actually took place. We saw monkeys, iguanas, crabs, and many different types of birds.
