FRANK and SHAKA are amazing, we saw two TURTLES!!! - This was excellent - if you want to see TURTLES then go with Shaka and Frank. BTW - Frank who was our guide was amazing, really passionate about wildlife, kept us all safe and clearly enjoys what he does. The company was well organised and the snorkels, life jackets and kayaks were all good quality. Would highly recomend!!!!!

Very nice experience! - We did the Kayak tour with snorkeling today. It was a very nice excursion with good explanations and enthusiastic guides. Both dolphins and turtles seen and when snorkeling very nice fish. It was a very nice experience!! An additional advantage is that they take pictures during the trip that you will receive afterwards.

Really great. - Really great experience. Arrive 30 mins before booking time to get set up with life jacket, snorkel etc. You need flip flops, sun cream and water. Nothing else. They have lockers inside to leave your bags, and phones, and warm showers when you get back in case you need one. We had Frank looking after us, and he was great. Knowledgeable, fun. They take loads of photos of you, so you don't have to. They'll email or airdrop at the end of the tour, as you wish. It's a long paddle, but fun. If you're lucky, you might see dolphins and turtles, and during the snorkel you will see a bunch of tiny fish, and a few of the local parrot fish. All in all a pleasant few hours. Would definitely recommend it.. Oh, my wife says to add that you need to let the lightest person out of the boat first to avoid capsize.

Consummate professionals. Exceptional human beings. Don’t miss this experience with this company, Shaka. - Thanks to Ciro and his ever smiling colleagues and staff who made a day of kayaking and snorkeling a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding activity. They were kind, patient, full of vital information. Before I knew it, we were on the other side of the coast on a piece of fibre glass, spying pirouetting, playful and enchanting dolphins (sometimes a family of them!) and gorgeous golden turtles. Ciro took the time to explain that it was rare to see this many dolphins especially the baby dolphins with their mamas! What a privilege. Ciro then called himself my personal kayak when I panicked while snorkeling and gently made me feel at my ease again in the water, telling me funny stories of his wife and her (non) exploits in the water! Ever smiling, full of information and encouragement. I don’t really know what I expected but this was beyond. At the end, new smiling people showed up to help is out of our kayaks and over the rocks on the beach, and to rinse off our feet. All things they didn’t really have to do. 100% unreservedly recommend this business and this experience. It was truly enriching. Yes, we are entirely knackered but we will always remember it.

Not for the faint hearted - Despite a cloudy day in Los Christianos it was extremely hot. We left in the afternoon against the tide which was fairly challenging. Overall it was a great trip but make sure you bring a drink and sun cream!

Gaby was an absolute... - Gaby was an absolute dream! I visited two weeks ago from the UK and had an incredible time. Both Gaby and Roberto were professional, friendly, and truly made this the highlight of my trip. I had a tough time with snorkeling, but Gaby kindly helped me through it, offering guidance and making sure I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. An outstanding team and an unforgettable tour — you won't regret booking with them! Taz

Closest to dolphins and turtle in their natural space - We saw a turtle on the kayak but unfortunately not at the time of swimming we got close to the really beautiful cetais dolphins with a companion who really took the time to look for the turtles a great experience I recommend

Don’t do with kids - Wouldn’t recommend doing with children under 16 as it’s way too much rowing for one person to do when the kids cannot/wont help! I’m physically fit and still struggled to keep up.

The snorkel 10 minutes for... - The snorkel 10 minutes through an area that we only saw a bank of fish, we had to be waiting for other groups to leave the area, so you lose time of the activity, totally stopped without seeing anything. They supposedly give you water and snacks, which they didn't give anyone. The good, the workers who are super friendly. But I'm not going to repeat with them again. They sell it to you like snorkeling with turtles, but the groups he was asked, he saw none of them and neither did we. It's clear that there's a chance of not seeing them, but where we did the snorkeling it was normal not to see them.
