At EcoColors we are always trying to expand and try new things. We strive to offer something unique and one of a kind experience for our guests. Whether this means constantly updating ourselves with social media trends or adapting our tours, we strive to make you happy!

One of the newest editions is our (soon to be released) Extreme Reptile Adventure. The tour is a combination of two other tours; our Kantemo adventure and crocodile adventure. We decided to combine the two to be able offer something truly extraordinary. The tour starts in the early evening with the departure to Kantemo, where upon arrival you will be able to explore the caves and find hanging snakes! This is truly a one of a kind experience, as this is not known to occur anywhere else! After, you take part in a conservation and preservation of crocodiles, where you will help capture them to obtain data and learn more about these great creatures. Upon the release back into the wild, you will start your return back to your hotel.

Note: this tour is not for the unadventurous, but rather the people who seek thrill!
