Had a great time. Our... - Had a great time. Our guide made this so much fun. The water is shallow so it’s easy to see fish , crabs and more. Really fun experience being out on the water at night. They took care to make sure everyone got in and out of the kayaks safely and provided bug spray.

Relaxed and Fun Experience - Our guides were excellent. They were informative and showed us a wonderful time. We were able to see some of the wildlife and learned about the environment. The guides were also hilarious and made it an all around fun time. Would recommend any time! We can’t wait to come back and do it again.

Great Customer Service - The evening of our tour there were high wind warnings in the area and for safety reasons the tour was canceled. I want to commend the company for making sure that they received my confirmation that I knew about the cancelation and I received my full refund in less than 24 hours!! I wanted to reschedule but we were coming home the next day. I will definitely be doing this tour on my next visit to the area.

Ok - Couldn't really see through the bottom of the boat. Plus, no fault on the company, but saw very little fish. I also was mistaken in that I thought we were going to Kayak through the mangroves, not just next to them.

Disappointing - First time kayaking for two of our friends. Half the price would have been more reasonable. The Kayaks were not glass bottom. More like fiberglass but you could not see through the bottoms.

didn't see any fish - We were disappointed in the experience. They didn't go to a place where we could see anything. We also had a hard time hearing the tour guide, it kept cutting out. I also think, they should have more single kayaks. I had to sit behind my husband, where I was soaked when a small wave of water came into the kayak.
