The workers were very helpful. Aiden did a great job helping us all get in and out of the water and telling us where to go. He was very friendly and we appreciated his help. Beautiful scenery and a very fun experience.

Great time touring the island and mangrove trees by kayak. Kayaks were the open top type and easy to paddle and steer. Place was easy to find. We booked and paid on TripAdvisor 30 minutes before we showed up and Mike and Doug hooked us up with kayaks, waterproof map, and a floating waterproof bag for keys and phones and wallets.

We had an awesome time. Doug, Audrey, Keoni, and Mike were all amazing. The rain had hit in the afternoon but had opened up to a beautiful afternoon. Most of the other rental companies left for the day, but Doug and the crew stuck around. We just drove up without reservations and they took care of us. They provided us an awesome experience on a beautiful day. We rented paddle boards and kayaks for 2 hours, they provided a map for getting through the mangroves, and the prices were very reasonable.

Rented a kayak for an all‑day trip and had a great experience. The staff gave helpful tips on fishing spots, tides, and timing, and the kayak was in great shape. Spent the day exploring and even caught a few fish, including this feisty drum.

It was a great experience, beautiful sights , peaceful environment. The staff were helpful, thorough, and very friendly. Not a lot of people. It was great for the price and retuning customers get an extra hour!!! It’s best for sunny days for the full experience! I’m definitely coming again soon!
