Night Mangrove Boat Tour was great for our family

Guiramo was great! Saw a sloth, boa, several iguanas, frogs, bats, and many different kinds of birds. Highly recommend!

Great ride through the mangrove forest!

This was a great experience! The boat ride was smooth and relaxing and we got to see quite a few birds, lizards, and bats! Our captain Gonzalo and our tour guide Elias were fun and informative. We really appreciated the trip with them.

Cool experience to tour...

Cool experience to tour the mangroves at night but a little underwhelming. Seen less animals than we expected. But the rated is more because it says it starts at 5:30, we got there early but our guide didn't arrive with the people until 6 pm and we didnt leave until 6:17 so that should be clearer. Our boat was full, with 18 people, its hard to see on the one side of the boat, the dinner is after which is totally okay but 15 mins away. There should be more details in the advertisement for this one is all. So I cant give it a 5.

NOT handicap accessible

I was assured they could accommodate my mobility device. We were picked up and driven there only to find out they could not, because there was an expansive gravel lot that my electric scooter could not traverse, and I am not mobile enough to walk more than 2 or 3 steps. They drove us all the way back home and I had to contact Viator, who was able to secure a refund for us from the operator. Disappointed but satisfied with the refund.
