This is not a simple sightseeing trip; it’s an expedition designed by and for nature and wildlife photographers. The Photography Tour focuses on the most valuable asset: light. We prioritize the “golden hours” (right at sunrise or during sunset) to capture the biosphere landscapes, mangroves, and flamingos in magical, once-in-a-lifetime light.
Unlike other tours, this experience is 100% flexible and moves at your pace. We don’t follow a fixed itinerary; we chase the best light, the best action, and the best composition. Our guide-pilot is an expert spotter who understands a photographer’s needs: patience to wait for the exact moment, and precise boat positioning to get the perfect angle, background, and shot.
Note: This tour is ideal for photographers of all levels (from smartphone enthusiasts to full-gear professionals) who want to create striking images. The tour is private to ensure the boat and time are dedicated exclusively to your photographic goals.
• Equipped boat: Stable boat with space for your gear (backpacks, tripods, etc.).
• Specialized guide-pilot: Extensive experience working with photographers; expert in spotting wildlife and positioning the boat.
• 100% Private and Flexible Tour: The itinerary adapts to your interests and the light conditions.
• Cooler with drinks: Water and soft drinks to keep you hydrated.
• Tour duration: ~4 hours (approximately).
• Recommended times: This tour is offered only during the two best light windows of the day:
o Sunrise Tour: Departure before sunrise (e.g., 5:30 AM).
o Sunset Tour: Afternoon departure (e.g., 3:30 PM – 4:00 PM) to finish right after sunset.
