Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Janina is a great guide and made the trip really enjoyable. We saw lots of local wildlife including sting rays, a sea turtle, stonefish and soldier crabs. I’d 100% recommend!!

We did the nature tour with a very knowledgeable local guide. She explained everything about the local flora, birdlife and marine life. Taking us past the mangrove forests, into a little stream and over the sandbanks. Providing information about everything we found. We managed to see loads of bird life and plenty of stingrays.
I would highly recommend this beautiful little gem and supporting a local buisness.
