Nature- Using glass bottom kayaks, we launch directly from the Cayman Islands Yacht Club into a vast network of mangroves and waterways. You'll be introduced to local plants, wildlife, culture, and history as we navigate through the crystal-clear water of Grand Cayman.
Small Group- We keep our group sizes small and will have one guide for every six participants, the majority of our tours are 4-6 participants. This allows for an interactive experience where you will be able to ask many questions and have the guide offer a more tailored experience.
Safety- All participants will receive guidance on the usage of the kayaks and a personal flotation device to assist them should they enter the water.
Options- We offer single and double kayaks to participants, but numbers are limited so we cannot guarantee your preferred option.

Took a two hour kayak tour with Ryan. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable about many aspects of the local ecology. He was able to communicate that knowledge in a personable and comprehensive manner. The kayaking was not strenuous and well suited for those not experienced in kayaking. We would highly recommend this activity.

Knowledgeable guide. See thru boats were sort of pointless since the water is so dark. I expected more nature but we stayed in bay and mostly saw houses.

We really enjoyed the kayak tour. Ryan , our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about all the different types of plants and you could really tell he was passionate about them. He was very easy to talk to. I also liked the fact this was a small group tour and it felt more personal.

A fantastic afternoon spent kayaking around the mangroves and canals. The best part was the brilliant commentary from our guide, an ecologist. We learnt so much about the local wildlife. Highly recommend this trip!

Excellent tour! Ryan was an excellent guide, very personable. Knowledgeable about the ecosystem and local animals. He took the time to show and explain to us what lays beneath the waves in a beautiful setting in the glass bottomed kayak. We felt safe and entertained the entire tour. Small group is a wonderful perk.

Ryan was fantastic! One of our small group is a biologist and the knowledge he shared was fascinating to all of us but definitely connected with the biologist. Was a workout, a lesson on local wildlife and ecology, and incredibly engaging. Would recommend again and again.

Ryan was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide who left us with tons of interesting information about the island, plants and wildlife, making us appreciate it even more. June was a great time to come, we had the tour to ourselves. What a wonderful way to spend a morning in Grand Cayman.
