  Our whole group had a great time. We got to see many turtles, lemon sharks, hold a jellyfish, and a live conch. Beautiful scenery! Knowledgeable guide!

• Just go for it

  We made a last minute decision to try the kayaking and made a great choice with Clear Wave. The crew was fantastic and we saw numerous turtles and a small shark in the beautiful clear water.

• We had a different experience from the other reviews - Safety should be Priority!

  Unfortunately, this wasn't the best experience for our family. First, they don't have a bathroom at the landing and the nearest one was closed at the early hour of our meeting time. Not a deal breaker, but we drove almost 45-minutes across the island in traffic to get there and would have appreciated a heads up that there were no facilities on site so we could have stopped somewhere en route. We began with paddling across the busy and choppy channel to the mangrove forest opening. This is outside the nearby dock's no wake zone, so big boats were crossing. Our day also had particularly high winds and it was utterly exhausting and honestly a bit scary trying to cross it in a kayak with me and my 10-year old daughter paddling desperately against the strong current. We came across other tour companies that towed their patrons to the start of the mangrove channel with jet skis or motorized boats. This should have been done for our group, especially given the water and wind conditions - we weren't the only ones in our group to express this sentiment. It was also BUSY with so many other tours in the small channels. Traffic jams, confusion as to who was with what group. We did see a few turtles but honestly I was just trying to survive and make it back to the landing so leisurely sight seeing wasn't possible. Then, there was confusion/miscommunication between our guides and we paddled upstream on a particular channel only to have to turn around and go back the other way. Then, we paddled back out into the main channel and downstream for no apparent reason. Which meant we then had to paddle back against the current when we were all already so exhausted. When we were finally to head back, I asked the guide if we had to paddle back across the channel and he said yes. Meanwhile, every other tour group was getting hooked to motorized boats to be escorted back to their landing sites. I'm not going to lie, I nearly broke down into crying at the thought of having to paddle back across the busy channel. But I put on my big girl panties (which I hadn't wet by some miracle despite an almost bursting and incredibly painful bladder) and started the trek. By some mercy, they did finally bring a motorized boat over and hooked us up and towed us back. Praise above! We got out of there (and to a bathroom) as quickly as we could. I don't mean to be disparaging as I know this is their livelihood, I just don't think that safety considerations were given top priority given the water and wind conditions we experienced. And when you're in water, safety should be given utmost priority. Bottom line, we would 100% NOT do the kayaking again. Another family took a motorized tour with this company (we didn't even know this was an option) and seemed to enjoy it much more since they weren't fighting for their lives.

• Deceitful about transportation

  Says it includes ground transportation when you book it. It does not. We had to get a taxi for $60. The kayaking is fine. A little disorganized. We saw tons of turtles, a shark, a conch, a jellyfish. Guides were nice and pointed stuff out. We didn’t see any fish.

  We booked a 2 hour private tour and it was amazing. Vinston was a fun, well informed, pleasant and professional guide. We saw turtles, jellyfish, baby sharks and a conch. Very enjoyable trip. Highly recommend

• We booked by phone and...

  We booked by phone and were told transportation was included, but it wasn’t. As a result, we had to pay $22 per person each way. Be sure to read the fine print carefully. I highly recommend booking excursions through your hotel. Most hotels have concierge services that can assist with reservations. You’ll likely get a better price, and the hotel staff can advocate for you if things doesn’t go as planned.

• Mundane Mangrove Kayak Experience

  Location was difficult to find, kayaks seats were not comfortable, takes some muscle and nature experience was minimal.
