Here you can buy tickets for public transport to Rio Dulce. The boat leaves at 9:30 (100Q) and 2:30 PM (125Q). You sail for about 1.5 hours, the captain stopped at important attractions along the way, such as the bird island. To Playa Blanca boat leaves at 9:30 back about 3:00 PM, two ways cost 100Q.

Beware of service resellers and unnecessary service providers. Local authorities should be vigilant about such services. You may end up paying at least twice as much. Reforms need to be made as soon as possible and a ticket office built. Livingston-Rio Dulce and back. This should not happen.

Well initially we didn’t planned to do it due to the price. But in the end… the visit of Livingston itself is not really worth it, but enjoy the ride in this beautiful nature is definitely worth it
