“The trip with Sonny and Dimitri was absolutely fantastic! The visit to Turtle Bay, the Mud Baths, and the River Cruise were all amazing experiences. The mud was so beautiful and relaxing — such a unique and refreshing treat! Sonny really knows his stuff, and both he and Dimitri were incredibly informative and funny throughout the day. The time on the beach was wonderful — it turned into a long, full day, but it was totally worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this trip and these two guides. They made the whole experience unforgettable!”
