5.00Really fun and easygoing. Thiago was a great instructor and Camila provided awesome support. They made the whole experience very smooth and Thiago gave lots of useful practical tips for the snorkeling. And during the kayak in the mangroves we learned a lot about the flora and fauna. Would definitely recommend when you’re around!!
Amazing experience

5.00My husband and I did the combination snorkeling and kayaking tour. We are in our 60s. Was a little concerned that it might be a little too much for us. No worries at all! Thiago, our guide, was patient and we moved at a very comfortable pace. My husband is not the most comfortable in the water. He did SO well and loved it!!!! Kayaking was great also! Beautiful along the mangroves. Our day was so great! Thank you to Thiago and Camilla! You are truly amazing!!!!!!!
Awesome trip! Worth the adventure!!

5.00This was an awesome trip! Camila and Thiago were great at communicating once we booked the trip! Expedia actually recommended to add this to our package and we did and it was totally worth it! They were super friendly, like a friend was taking us on a trip, not like a business transaction and gave us an instructions on how to snorkel and kayak for anyone who didn’t know and it was very safe! We saw lots of fish, a reef shark, sea turtles and the mangroves were so peaceful! Definitely recommend booking with these people!
A MUST DO EXPERIENCE!

5.00This was a great experience! Our hosts Thiago and Camilla were extremely pleasant and very wonderful! We were fortunate enough to have very good visibility while snorkeling and we saw so many different species of sea creatures! Our kayak experience was very nice as well! On the way back Mother Nature was not on my side and we had to paddle into the wind. Thiago had seen I was slowing down and without saying anything he generously gave me a tow to make it a little easier to paddle back to our starting location! Talk about hospitality!! 10/10 experience would highly recommend!!!
Fun kayaking and snorkeling tour

5.00This was a really fun kayaking tour. The guide was really nice and easygoing, which made the whole experience feel relaxed from the start. He was helpful, made sure I was comfortable, safe and shared interesting info along the way. He showed me interesting wildlife along the way. I definitely recommend the tour if you want a well-run tour. It never felt rushed, and he was great about helping me out when I needed help. Super enjoyable experience and I’d totally do it again.
Underwhelming experience, friendly hosts

3.00The hosts of the experience were extremely friendly, but the experience itself was underwhelming. My family enjoys kayaking and we signed up for this trip because it was advertised as kayaking and snorkeling. But the kayaking portion takes no more than five minutes as you make your way a couple hundred feet offshore to where you anchor for snorkeling. It was so close to the shore, some folks in our group swam back to shore at the end. As for the snorkeling, we would’ve benefitted from information about the manmade reefs and the type / breed of fish we may expect to see, what their habits are, etc. When we saw fish and asked about it, the host did not have any information. We expected more from this experience and it should not be called “kayaking” when that portion takes five minutes in an inflatable kayak. The hosts were friendly and I would love to see their business succeed, but it needs to be more than what it is.
Tons of fish!
