    It was an amazing experience! Sebastian and Magdalena were fantastic, super friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the marine life. They made the kayak tour so much fun, and we got to see beautiful views and wildlife along the way. Everything felt safe and well organized. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great outdoor adventure!

    Worth the trip. Good deal. Ride is 2 hours long about, so it’s a little long. Be prepared and do it if you are feeling adventurous.

    Wasn’t great experience, entering the ocean by the waves being strong we fell, guide was like wanna go back(to shore and hear me the others went with second guide and were successful) we said we wanted to try again. Second time we went further but waves hit back and we fell. But, the Guide who was with us wasn’t that supportive and pushing the kayak initially pretty much stranded the second time we tried. So we just had to give up
