Kayak and Snorkel Tour our guides - Alex & Sativa

5.00Kayak and Snorkel Tour our guides - Alex & Sativa The tour started with a safety briefing and then a gentle stroll down to the mangroves with a quick lesson on the different varieties on the way. After a gentle launch from the jetty we were paddling through the cool mangroves experiencing the sights and smells of tree crabs, mud crabs and upside-down jelly fish. On arriving at the beach we transferred to a motor launch for the trip out to Cades Reef. Half an hour of snorkeling ensued and we saw plenty of Reef dwelling fish and a pack of Barracuda. After the snorkeling we were treated to a light lunch and Rum Punch whilst still anchored by the reef. Alex (boat captain) and Sativa (Kayak and snorkeling guide) were both very friendly and informative. We'd definitely recommend this tour.

5.00Such an incredible experience! We went kayaking wish we did before and did snorkeling for the first time, and I absolutely loved it. The water was beautiful and peaceful, and the whole adventure was unforgettable. The staff and tour guide were amazing so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this experience 1000%. If you’re visiting, this is definitely something you must do!

5.00The tour guides / instructors were both fun and helpful! They helped us feel confident and we laughed a lot while kayaking as well as on the boat before snorkeling. The snorkelling itself was on quite a choppy bit of sea, but we still got to see lots of fish (no sharks or turtles for us 😔). They provide masks, fins and snorkels, though the snorkels are the basic kind so they don’t stop water from entering it. We didn’t realise they provide quite a tasty snack after the session so we didn’t even need to get lunch! A great surprise! Just please remember to send a separate message providing any dietary requirements as otherwise they will assume you can eat anything.
Well-organized tour. The...

5.00Well-organized tour. The mangroves are scenic, the guides are friendly, it’s a short ride out to the reef to snorkel, and the snacks and optional lunch were delicious. The kayaking and snorkeling are not strenuous, and this is a great all-ages activity.
Great experience! Definitely recommend
