Way exceeded expectations! - Way exceeded expectations! Our guide, Miracle, was extremely knowledgeable and it was clear he cares for his guests and for the animals we met along the way! We saw nurse sharks, lemon sharks, a few rays (including a huge eagle ray), iguanas, jellyfish, conch and our favorite, well over a dozen sea turtles. Loved the tour!

Great experience up close with Turles and Mangroves - Easy to find, friendly helpful staff from the start, you walk a short distance to the loading ramp where you're towed via motorboat across the bustling harbour, out to the open sea. No worries about exerting yourself trying to keep up, all the exploration is done at a gentle pace, looking for turtles (we saw several). Then a break on the island to see the iguana's, with a very informative talk by Jean our guide, then on the Mangroves, little fish and a couple of sharks. All in all a great experience, remember sunscreen, I burnt my knees! :)

Great experience and informational - The tour guide Mikey made the trip very enjoyable! He towed me and my daughter when we couldn’t keep in line and he made sure my daughter got to touch and see all the things that were on the tour.

Great trip. Not a great beginning. - Our guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable and fun. However, Viator was a bit misleading. This company states that our departure was at 2 pm. The company did not state that actual departure time might differ depending on the tides. We spent an extra $40 taxi ride because our pick up could not wait. Our actual trip time was 1 pm. He could not wait and so left us at the hotel. Not cool

Just an ok tour - Our guide was amazing. The only thing I found odd, was that we were not given any safety or kayak instructions. We saw a lot of turtles. There were a couple of sharks and one fish that my family saw but I never saw them. Our guide did find a conch to show us and passed it around for us to see. He was also able to find a jellyfish for us. Other than that, we did not see much. Iguana island was just ok. We saw two iguanas. Not worth the extra $30 per person. They pulled our kayaks all attached together by a motorized boat to the spot where we began kayaking on our own. But when it was time to pull us back across to the meeting spot once our tour was finished, it took 20 minutes of waiting for the boat to arrive which was very annoying since I had to use the restroom really bad. We just sat in our kayaks doing nothing but waiting for them to arrive. There are no bathroom breaks the whole 3 hour tour. The resort pick up and drop off was not enjoyable to say the least. We were all crammed into a van that did not have enough seats for all of us! My daughter had to sit on the floor which neither her nor I were happy about. That is dangerous!! So I would recommend if you do this tour, do not drink a lot before hand, skip iguana island and drive yourself or get a taxi to and from the meeting spot.
