Awesome experience - This was a lovely experience and the guide was great too! The water was so calm and the view was really clear. We got to see the turtles and loads of fishies. Good value for money, would recommend!

Amazing experience - Had an amazing time kayaking around Carlisle bay, seen a few turtles close up and ship wrecks below the glass kayak, great guide who new all the history about them.
Nice finishing touch of rum punch once back on shore, would definitely recommend.

Good sports unit but no sight - We had hoped for a little more from the Kyjak tour, but unfortunately there was hardly anything to see of the three sunken ships. There were so many snorkelers and boats on or in the water that we were almost only busy avoiding them. The kayaks were not that new anymore, but we had hoped that the "crystal clear" would give us better visibility. We were able to see a few turtles and our guide made an effort. We did not get the advertised rum punch.

Horrible - So we arrived on time, but we needed to wait for some others that were not on time. Then once we got in the water one of the kayaks from the other people went under and then about a few minutes later we started to sink, the dry bag kept nothing dry, and the phone case did nothing to protect the phone because all my contents in my bag was soaking wet and my husband‘s phone, got wet!!

Nice view - The views over the bay were beautiful! Unfortunately we were unable to see many turtles on the day a the water was cloudy. We didn't mind this as it can't be helped but our guide seemed to want to get it over with as quick as possible!

Overpriced - Expectations need to be managed. It is overpriced for what it is. would suggest hiring snorkels from harbour lights (for less than half the cost of this tour) and merely walking out into the water for a little way. The submerged boats/ships are very very close to the shore and are not that big. Whilst other reviews say that Nikki was knowledgeable about the sea life, we did not experience this. Merely pointing to a turtle and a sting ray (yes we did see those) is not above the average. And no rum punch as apparently Nikki had run out.
