It is a relaxing activity mostly through dense mangroves. That makes wildlife difficult to see. An OK activity with hopes off spotting the varied wildlife.

Lovely tranquil tour among mangroves and straining to spot any wild life. We did see a large snake above our heads on a tree branch and a large lizard and a couple of birds, but sadly no scarlet Ibis - the reason I went and no flamingos either. But thats nature.

Very pleasant trip with experienced guides to narrate and spot wildlife. As others have said the national bird, the red ibis, is spectacular. Equally stunning were the flamingos. Bring a hat, sunscreen and repellent!

Since i had my own car, i went directly there without a reservation and was able to get on a boat for 70 TT, a far cry from the tour prices. Definitely worth it.…

The other birds nest in the inside of island. To the north of the island there is mud area full of flamingos…
