    Highly recommended experience. Our whole family had a fantastic time. Our guide, Daniel, was the best part of the entire trip. Attentive and incredibly flexible with schedules and itineraries, he helped us keep our two young children (one 6 and the other 3 years old) comfortable and entertained at all times. In short, a superb guide. If you're traveling as a family, don't hesitate to ask him to lead you on the tour.

    Very good. The French guide was wonderful. It was raining and we had to change the order of the tour. He was friendly. I would do it again. The visit to the turtles should be at 7 when they feed them to see more.

Both periods have their charms—choose based on your favorite activities!
