Each canoe for this tour holds up to 8 travellers. Paddles are offered to everyone, but do not feel obliged to paddle on this tour if you do not wish – your guide will do most of the paddling. Private tours with special prices for groups and families are available on request – please use the contact form on our contact page to request a quote.
Though there is both a morning and afternoon tour, we recommend the 6.00am morning tour if you would like to see animals as they are most active at this time. On both tours, your experienced guides will do their best to spot animals but please note we must play by mother natures rules and seeing particular animals is no guarantee.
If you are carrying a camera or phone for photos, please be sure to bring something to protect them from the water. Being a dense coastal rainforest, it can rain a lot in this area and it’s not uncommon for a little water to splash into the canoe from the paddles.
