This was an interesting way to be able to view animals from this region in a natural setting and was especially interesting in that they were rescued animals.

A short boat ride from Flores and great for a 1-2 hour outing. All of the animals have been rescued and are being rehabilitated. Not a lot of signage or interpretation, but all the animals are happy..... more
