A great day trip

Tour Guide Harold made a special effort to describe the local flora and history on the trip to the park. During the boat trip, he did a great job of descrbing the wildlife and our boat driver did a great demo with a capuchin monkey and an amazing one with a river crocodile. We topped it off with a fantastic lunch at a nearby soda (restaurant).

Don't miss this one!

Very good excursion that all should try. Very informed guide and fun boat caption. Lots of wildlife! Plenty of crocodiles and bird life. We added the coffee, pottery, and lunch to our excursion as well which was well worth the experience. The lunch was very good and prepared at a "Soda" which was a super experience. The coffee guy was quite proud of his expertise with coffee and was willing to talk your ear off about it but I must mention that we did purchase some coffee and when we got home and tried it was fantastic! The pottery demo was very interesting and unique. This was a fantastic experience and very fun and educational.
