Great time! - This was a great excursion! Seeing the iguanas and sea turtles were a huge highlight for me and my teen/young adult children. Clear kayaks were very cool. The water was crystal clear with pristine beaches. Being towed to and from the iguanas was very relaxing. Definitely worth the money.

Great tour of the mangroves and Iguana Island - Nick was a great guide. He took excellent care of us and taught us a lot about Iguana Island and the mangroves. He did a fantastic job showing us the wildlife. Overall, we had a beautiful tour.

Fun and relaxing event - We had so much fun exploring the mangrove forrest and seeing the wildlife. The tour guides for our group and others in the area were very helpful at pointing out wildlife and guiding the tour. They all did an excellent job and made three trip fun and safe. I went with my younger sister and it was a good mix of kayaking and relaxing as they tow you to and from the mangroves. It was a beautiful day (bring your sunscreen!) and the water was gorgeous. With the help of our guides, and spotting some ourselves, we were able to see a sea snake, small crab, several sea turtles and conchs, some bone fish and barracuda, and some baby lemon and black tip reef sharks! We had so much fun, would recommend to anyone looking for a good excursion and we would do it again! Thank you to all the check in staff and guides, they were wonderful!

Amazing experience!!!! So much wildlife!!!! - We had an absolute amazing experience! First of all, our guide, Edwin was INCREDIBLE. He was so kind, patient and had great eyes to help us spot the wildlife! We saw sea turtles, lemon sharks, sting rays, barracudas, jellyfish, conch’s, iguanas and more! I highly recommend going first thing in the morning (7a tour) you have the whole mangrove to yourself to enjoy. Thank you again Edwin, we had an unforgettable time!!!

Fun, but very disappointed. - My daughter and I booked this tour excited to be able to go into the Mangroves and see many turtles and baby sharks as well as conch as this is what the tour was about. The guides were wonderful and we were all towed by a jet ski out to a spot in the water which was fun. Then, the bomb was dropped, we were told that it was "High Tide" so the water in the mangroves was too shallow for us to safely take the canoes into it. We paddled to one area (not in the mangroves) where we did see a few sea turtles and paddled constantly to try to catch them and see them. We then paddled to an island and walked on it a brief while and did see many iguanas and enjoyed that greatly. We then paddled to the entry of the mangroves, but still could not actually go into them because it was still too shallow. The jet ski then returned and towed us back to where the tour started. Our tour guide was wonderful and the only other couple on the tour with us were fun so we did have a good time, but we were very disappointed in the tour as what we signed up for was completely different than what we actually experienced. I truly felt like we should have gotten a refund. Perhaps, if the guides know that going into the mangroves at the time of a tour, an offer of a refund to those signed up should be offered before leaving on the tour.
