Great Memories Made In the Mangroves

Elias was the best guide! We got to see the most scenic places in the Damas Island mangroves, including crocs, bats, basilisks, herons, hawks, a sloth and a turtle. He was extremely informative, polite, and catering to our needs. I will definitely book Elias with jade tours again.
