“We loved the fishing trip into the mangroves and the chance to have a go at casting the nets. Harder than it looks but great fun. The drive through La Boquilla was an eye opener as to the way of life but interesting none the less. Lunch was OK but we would have happily missed that and headed home after the mangrove trip. Overall a good half day trip.”

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.

“This artisanal fishing experience was truly special. Our guide Jeimy and her uncle were amazing. Jeimy’s beautiful energy makes everyone feel welcome from the very first moment.
