;enjoy!

just to relax on the water in a silent boat and enjoy the clear skies/calm water was the best part of the trip. Luis was knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great trip seeing spoonbills, flamingos, ducks, oyster beds, and egrets. But, truthfully, I'd do it again simply to sit on the water and enjoy the stress-free environment.
Great birdwatching trip

Tres bonne activité à faire en couple ou en famille. Le bateau électrique est un bon moyen pour écouter le chant des oiseaux et pour s’approcher au plus près
Amazing experience and tour guide!
