Wikivoyage: open 9 am–5 pm daily. Boats leave from the Matanchén bridge (and a dock in San Blas) whenever enough passengers are ready. Bring water and insect repellent. The tour stops at a crocodile refuge, and at a spring where a small fence separates the swimming area from the crocodiles. From Matanchén Bay you can walk to the bridge from the beach. Pick up the famous local banana bread on the way back. Coordinate is the Matanchén bridge departure (Wikivoyage).
