Amazing experience it was just me and my three friends and felt like a private tour. Jade was very nice and informative and the experience overall was 100/10.

Wow what a once in a lifetime experience! My family (five of us kids 17, 16 and 9) had so much fun on this activity together. Great workout and we all learned so much! Saw a manatee, for sure do the three hours to see all of the jellyfish and to experience going through the tunnels! Host was awesome can’t say enough. I actually was talking about it later at the resort and another family booked for the following day!! This is a must do!!!

Safe, fun, educational, private and peaceful. Serene paddle through mangroves to open lagoon. Saw many fish, crabs, birds and a manatee! Option to jump in the swimming hole! Jade was very knowledgeable and sparked lots of good conversation about what we were seeing and the environment we were kayaking in. He is excited about what he is doing and we loved the small group experience as we could see and hear everything. This is a great excursion for anyone who would like to be on the water and close to nature. Excellent for adults and families alike. Skip the crowds and have a personal experience with Jade.
