Me and my friends really enjoyed our kayak and snorkeling eco-adventure with Joshua as our guide. He was very kind and always made sure we were all doing ok. I really liked this excursion because it had a little of everything. A great kayak trip along the coast over to the nature preserve for an informative walk looking at different parts of the nature preserve. Kayaked back to the starting point and then had a great time snorkeling. Thank you so much Joshua, it was the highlight of our whole trip!

Josh was terrific - very knowledgeable about Puerto Rico and the excursion. We snorkeled first - unfortunately there had been a storm the evening before so the water was a bit "murky" - but we did get to see a few cool fish. We then went kayaking and explored a nature preserve you can only get to via walking or by water.

Had a nice time. Would recommend if you want a chill experience. Keep in mind a lot depends on the weather but we were able to see sea turtles above water. If you kayak slowly you’ll be able to see more of the sea life.

Had a great time kayaking and snorkeling with Joshua, he was very informative about the local habitat. It was more fun for us to go as a small group than on a big charter with lots of people, it felt more relaxed and personal

Joshua was an excellent tour guide. Our group had never snorkeled before and was very comfortable throughout the experience.

Joshua tailored the excursion very well to the group. He provided historical and environmental lessons as we toured the locations, but was mindful in asking what the group wanted. The kayak trip and nature walk were very fun, as was the snorkeling. Joshua was very knowledgeable about the history of the island as well as the flora and fauna. We saw so many different types of fish, and even some eels. Safe, relaxing, fun, and informative. Joshua was very patient and helpful teaching us how to use the snorkeling gear. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone! We had a wonderful time, and the surrounding beaches and park are beautiful (parking was only $5 per day!).

This activity was the highlight of our trip! Staff were friendly and thoughtful. The equipment was clean and in great shape. Our guide was funny and informative and made sure our 10 year old first time snorkeler felt comfortable. We had a beautiful kayak to a short nature walk with a history lesson and a swim. We then enjoyed easy snorkeling where we saw many fish, including a Lion Fish! It felt good to support a family business that cares about the local ecology.

We had such a great experience with this tour! Our guide, Josh, was informative and fun to be around. We loved kayaking along the coast and learning about the local ecosystem. My husband had never been snorkeling before and Josh was a great teacher. We simply had a blast!

When we arrived at the beach location we were a little surprised and nervous that the business was operating out of a pop up canopy on the beach. We decided to go with it and trust the great reviews we had read on google and we are so glad we did. Joshua took us on a wonderful adventure, kayaking to the nature preserve, giving us the low down on the 4 different kinds of mangrove trees and how to identify them (which all four of my kids still remember!), and guiding us through our first ever snorkeling experience. He was able to guide us to 2 different reefs where we saw so many different fish, as well as a huge starfish and a large conch. Afterwards he gave us a small card to keep that had pictures of the variety of sea life we might see and the locations of all the reefs in that particular bay. We would definitely be able to go snorkeling on our own after our experience. All the gear provided was clean and in good working order. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it to others.
