"Took our kids out for a wonderful tour with snorkelling and picnic on a white sand beach. Doesn't get much better than that!.Even did a little fishing and got to play our own playlist which created the vibe...now when I hear those songs I think of our time with you and your captains. Love the prices as well, keep up the good work guys. You made us all a lot of good memories, truly enjoyed every minute! Thank you 🙏"

"One of the best day of our life !!! Fishing was great , I still remember the taste of the ceviche sooooooo goooood. We were lucky enough to see the Dolphins and the whale. So fun when you pull us with the tube and the Surfboard. I definitely recommend Mantra on your next adventure."

"What an amazing day out ! Alon was the perfect guide, full of knowledge about fish & pointing out the sites along the dense jungle coastline. We even caught an enormous mackerel. Apparently it was one of the biggest they've ever seen. The captains later cooked up the fish into fresh ceviche - delicious. The sunset wakeboard session was the perfect end to the perfect day. With Alon as our instructor everyone managed to get up and glide through the waves. Huge thanks to Mantra - see you again soon !"
