This excursion was truly unforgettable — a magical experience from start to finish — and much of that is thanks to our wonderful guide, Alexis.
The setting itself is breathtaking: a completely untouched landscape where trees with roots plunging into the water form a surreal, almost primeval scene. The lake and the river are so peaceful and pristine that you feel as if you’ve stepped into the pages of National Geographic. And then there’s the bioluminescence — swimming in waters that glow and sparkle with every movement is nothing short of magical.
But what truly elevates the whole experience is Alexis. He is not just a guide — he is a passionate storyteller and a deeply knowledgeable naturalist. Certified and constantly expanding his expertise, Alexis shares real facts about the nature and history of the area with contagious enthusiasm. He doesn’t rely on myths or embellishments; instead, he brings the landscape to life with science, history, and insight — all delivered in a way that is engaging and easy to follow.
What I appreciated most was his sensitivity to the moment. He knew exactly when to step back and let us simply be — to savour the silence of the sunset, the stillness of the water, or the wonder of swimming in glowing light — and when to step in and enrich the experience with fascinating stories. Even small gestures, like skilfully speeding the boat to get a closer look at birds or preparing a cosy campfire with marshmallows, showed how much care and thought he puts into every detail.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experience crafted with knowledge, passion, and heart. And Alexis is the reason it becomes something truly special.
