Cartagena: FISHERMEN'S ISLAND IN THE MANGROVES by canoe - Three mangrove tunnels and the wildlife you can actually look for

3.FISHERMEN’S ISLAND IN THE MANGROVES by canoe

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 2 hours · from $28Best value

Canoe through La Boquilla mangrove tunnels and visit Isla de los Pescadores for local dance, music, wildlife spotting, and calm vibes.

“Esperienza autentica, giro tra le mangrovie a bordo di una canoa guidata da un abitante de la Bouquilla. La nostra guida è stata molto disponibile e parlava un ottimo inglese. Eravamo solo in due e c'erano pochia altri turisti, non so se fosse bassa stagione. Anche arrivare al punto di raccolta passando col taxi sulla spiaggia e osservando i bus del trasporto pubblico che transitano sulla spiaggia è stato parte dell'esperienza. Per me consigliatissimo se vi piace stare un po' fuori dai percorsi turistici più blasonati.”

The tour was in Spanish with a few English terms, so if you understand some Spanish you may…”
