Family boat trip

We had a great trip - we were a family of 11 (7 adults and 4 children) and we ended up with a boat to ourselves! Paolo our guide was very knowledgable and interacted/engaged with the children really well. The boats are very comfortable and Paolo made sure the children were shaded from the sun by setting up the canopy. Would highly recommend!

Nice short trip to the lagoon

We did the tour today on a sunny mornin with Paulo and it was great! Paulo is ocean biologist and does know a lot about fauna and flora of the lagoon and can explain the salt marsh extremely well! A tour with him is highly recommended and he gives you the explanation to all the birds around and the possibility to take good pictures
