Arm day with a view! - Nash was an awesome guide. Super knowledgeable and made the trip fun. My husband is not a swimmer and had never kyaked before, but he snorkeled with the life vest, saw some amazing creatures, and said he will definitely be kyaking again in the future. We were told it was about 3 miles total but totally doable. We had a group of middle age to older adults and everyone did great 👍

Fine, but not remarkable - This overall experience was enjoyable but not remarkable. We enjoyed the kayaking and information about the mangroves. The snorkeling was underwhelming. Our experience did not live up to the ecstatic reviews we had read. .

Mangrove Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Tour Review - The tour guide was really great! Very educational for classes, businesses, and adventurers alike. We got to see and interact with various local sea life, swim amongst the beautiful mangroves in clear, crystal water, and got a killer arm workout! Though different groups are coming in simultaneously, the tour still felt intimate, and we had a lot of fun! Would definitely do again!
