Canoe crabbing and net fishing in Cartagena mangroves, with private guide, beach lunch, and optional raccoon island stop.
“We enjoyed this experience. Michael, the owner, was quick to help us problem solve when our driver was late in picking us up. We still had plenty of time on the water and for the kids to try to catch crabs and do a little net fishing. It was low season, so we only caught 5 crabs, but that was plenty for us to have a fun experience with the kiddos. We enjoyed the island visit and had a really yummy lunch on the beach. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it, which was the point, and everyone we interacted with was very kind. Would recommend. Thanks, Michael & Andres & Daniel!”

Her professional english, kindness, knowledge about the tour (since she’s a local from the same area), her way of making this tour intimate and memorable was spot on. Shay guided us through the whole tour, it started from when we were picked up explaining the background story, the canoe ride through the jungle, fishing with a local and visiting a local island for some latino and Colombian music. Shay made us connect with nature and elevated the whole experience to an unforgettable one. Thank you again and…”
