Stars to sunrise on a kayak! What's not to love - Great tour, so cool to be out on the lagoon in the pitch black and watch the stars turn into the sunset :)

Magical Tour! - The tour was magical! Getting up early was definitely worth it. We started paddling in the dark, under the stars. Moi, our guide, took us to quiet places and gave us info about the nature. Overall, the tour was a perfect mix of sports activity and relaxing. It is one of our favorites from our vacation and we look forward to receiving the pictures that Moi took. Ps. Don't forget mosquito spay!

Beautiful sunrise - The sunrise was beautiful. It was definitely worth getting up early. Some of the kayaks - but not all of them - are transparent. And it doesn't really matter because you won't see fishes in this area. The communication after doing the reservation was very good - I received all necessary information about the meeting point and what to wear/bring. Questions were answered quickly. On the day of the tour I would have appreciated to be welcolmed as a group at the meeting point and to be informed about the programm of the day before going on the kayak. Furthermore, it would have been nice to go a bit further with the kayak and to spend more time on the kayak or swimming in the lake. Unfortunately the tour guide didn't speak English and only those who understood Spanish could follow his explanations. When doing a reservation, it is recommended to ask if there will be an English speaking tour guide as well.

The ad was misleading but it's still really worth it! - Experience really worth the early morning getting up. Just beautiful. Well, the organization of the trip was a bit messy and the advert was not true at all - we did not get transparent kayaks, but for some reason it was a normal not transparent kayak for me and paddle boards for other guys. We also did not get any info from the guide (who barely spoke English). However, I did not miss any of these - the guide was a nice, kind and quiet guy and he took us to really beautiful corners, deep in the mangrove labyrinth. As I saw later, other tours do not take you to those places. It was really wonderful experience, I would go again...

Non-transparent sunrise kayaking - There was no transparent kayaks, just regular that was offered. When asked, a man on the phone gave us some BS excuses. Our guide didn't speak much English so all we did was follow him and stopped when he stopped. English is the universal language... he would have earned tips if he provided more information. They did provide a dry bag, a small bottle of water, and granola type bar before going into the water. For breakfast, we were given 1 mango, Bimbo toast with coffee of peanut butter, jam or Nutella spread along with instant coffee. Don't expect too much in Mexico otherwise you'll be disappointed. The sunrise & lagoon view was spectacular but nothing that you couldn't do on your own if you rent the kayak from your own hotel.

Nice tour but no drone / pictures as promised - The tour itself was very nice, we left early so we were in the middle of the lagoon for the sunrise. The breakfast afterwards was good aswell. BUT: I booked the tour especially because the description said there were pictures of a drone & GoPro included. We didn’t even have a drone with us and as of today I’m still waiting on the link for the pictures they were supposed to send the same day. I also didn’t got a Glasboot since I was travelling solo. Anyway the transperate boots had their days so you badly can see anything through them.

The Kayak Tour was too... - The Kayak Tour was too stretched for Beginners (We had a few beginners thay really struggled and slowed everything down) As soon as you have cloudy weather or wind it really gets super cold, so that wasn't their fault but also not pleasant. Much rather do a daytour. The guide was nice but not taking care of the Beginners at all, he was always seeming to be bored of them and couldn't be arsed to help them properly. No instructions were given as well.

Not great but no complaints about the guide. - The guide was good. The kayaks and paddles were terrible. I don’t recommend this tour very highly. The kayaks are not safe unless in totally plate water. If windy you are done

Worst experience ever!!! - When I contact the provider 1 week ago, to the tour provider asked me to show up at 5:30 am. However, he didn't show up. Try multiple times to contact him via WhatsApp and calls, wait for 40 mins. No response until now. Totally waste our time and ruin our day.
