5.00My husband and I had an amazing time. We go kayaking all the time in lakes and marinas, but it was even more exciting experience being in the open ocean. The ocean kayaks were safe, sturdy and saved me from a wave that almost flipped me over when I was coming into shore. This trip was a great workout and the caves were fascinating to see. The tour guides taught us a bunch of history and fun facts as well. Thanks for an awesome day!

5.00This was such a great experience! It was so fun to be out on the water and we had a dolphin swim right past us as we were paddling out. The guides were so fun and entertaining! A big shout out to Maya and Savannah for making our experience so memorable!
Two minutes in a cave

3.00Our tour guides Carly and Carl were kind and knowledgeable but often hard to hear on the water. Carly did a great job trying to loosen up the new kayakers and get people laughing, as well as great tips for successfully riding the waves to land while staying mostly dry! We were disappointed that the “7 caves” tour really only included going into one cave for literally 2 minutes. It was also frustrating having to “fight” the other kayak companies and snorkel companies to go into the cave. Waiting seemed to take half of our time. Overall we enjoyed our time, who wouldn’t enjoy time on the ocean in the sun? But as experienced kayakers, I am not sure it was any better than renting private kayaks and going on our own.
