Wonderful experience! Very fun! - What a great time we had kayaking around the bay! Einer was a lovely host and guide. The experience was very doable for a beginner like myself, and my husband and I were able to share a kayak/tandem. Be sure to add this to your to-do list in Cartagena!

Fantastic experience - Mu guide, Einer was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful & fun. He taught me the basics of kayaking, showed me beautiful locations, including city views and a tiny island covered in beautiful birds. This was super fun and a fantastic way to view Cartegena

Fun afternoon. - Andres was very nice and helpful. He made sure we knew the ropes and helped keep us safe. It was great to get out on the water. It was sad, though, to see how little Cartagenans treasure their shoreline, though, seeing all the trash in and around the water.

Relaxing time - Our guide was really nice. It was great to get out on the water, but sad to see so much plastic trash floating. The company did a great job, however. Andres was a pro.

A nice part of the day ! - It was nice to see the Harbour and in particular what he called the lake (below the fort) from the water, do a bit of exercise and see quite a few birds (pelicans and others ) activity can be recommended!

Fun & different way of seeing the city! - Three of us had a very enjoyable & relaxing kayak tour of the bay with Andres! I have spent a lot of time in Cartagena but this was a first for me & would definitely recommend it as a different way of experiencing the city, while getting a bit of exercise too! Andres was on time, professional, helpful, informative & sent us great photos at the end. Thank you, Andres!

Cartagena by Kayak - Loved being in a kayak and seeing Cartagena from the water! It was great to paddle around the area I call bird island where the egrets nested.

A different view of Cartagena - This was such a pleasant way to see Cartagena from a different view, and my Spanish-speaking guide, Einer, was lovely to talk to as we paddled around. He was also very conscious of ensuring my safety at all times.
For first time kayakers, it’s an easy enough route and for more experienced kayakers, you will have a lovely, enjoyable paddle.
I highly recommend this experience.

Interesting way to see the city - Karib kayak made everything from booking to the kayaking tour easy. Andres, our tour guide was very friendly. He took photos for us along the way and sent them to us at the end. It was an interesting way to see the layout of the city.
