We had a wonderful experience. It was just the three of us, the guide and an apprentice. The guide, José, very friendly and cheerful. He taught us and explained many things about the flora and fauna of the park. Before starting the excursion, he contacted us and helped us get to the meeting point safely. The company has also been serious and has maintained contact with us in everything we need. We recommend! If it is something that could be improved it is the double kayaks. They do not have a backrest because the position when rowing is a bit forced. After a while it gets a little uncomfortable. Another feature they have is the bottom that allows water to flow inside. We had plastic bags to store the backpacks but they still got quite wet.
