Went on a nice morning after a few days of rain so the water levels were pretty high. The currents, where there were some, were pretty pedestrian. Our guide was nice and friendly. We followed him around as he guided us through the lagoon and Mangroves. We saw monkeys, water monitors, fish jumping out of the water, crabs, crab homes and a small croc (I think). Took just a couple of hours and was a great time!

Nice welcome by the owner. The tour was advertised as two hours canoeing with a guide to lead you and point out hidden areas. The guide must be very popular as he spent the whole time on his phone so there was little opportunity for him to point out hidden areas. We only got an hours canoeing and were told if we wanted to carry on for longer it would cost more. Try elsewhere, or perhaps the owner should employ another guide who is more focussed on the job.
