Floating Village.. great experience
963hevyd, October 2026
Great Tour to the Floating Village where you get to see in person how people live here during wet season. You have the chance to let yourself be kajaked along the houses and through the mangrove forest by local women. Sal as a tour guide was very enthusiastic and funny, gave all the information you could wish for. Recommended!

izzyjoyce, October 2026
Great tour today!! Our guide was Sal and he went above and beyond to tell us information about the Floating Village and was so kind and friendly. Felt personal which makes the tour feel so much more comfortable, our group he called the Sal Family! We went on the boat through the village and you stop off at the floating restaurant and Sal taught me and my friends a card game! Definitely recommend and you are lucky if you get Sal as your guide!!
