We follow the creek, not a fixed route. Some days it’s mangroves and soldier crabs, other days rays, birds or dolphins. Wind and tide decide where we go.

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.
