Summary:
Luis was prompt and very knowledgeable. He kindly translated everything for us in to English. We had no idea that the trip would include a boat ride and island tour that included up close encounters with the animals. Lunch was amazing and the turtle release was very special. I wish I could’ve spent more time playing with them, but we barely made before the sunset. All in all it was a very fun and enjoyable day!

An incredible experience! We loved seeing the crocodiles, white tail deer, and turtles in their natural habitat. The turtle release was even better than we imagined. I appreciate the structure of the tour to support and benefit locally-owned ecotourism.
