This is our honeymoon cruise, and we picked this at the last minute. From start to finish the guides were incredible. The knowledge of everything they showed us blew my mind. It was by far the best excursion I have ever been on. My wife had never been on a cruise, and this was her first time snorkeling and she had an absolute blast.

We had an amazing time!!! This tour is well paced and so much fun! Prez took the time to tell us cool little facts and was so friendly it really made for the best time. I can imagine with the right guide like Prez this tour would be fun for kids too. It's nice that the waters are all so shallow in this tour that I had no worries about fearing deep water. I could see the bottom the whole time and no more than maybe 6-8 feet at its deepest. The snorkeling was fun too and Prez helped find some cool fish. It's such calm waters there that it made for easy snorkeling.

Excellent guides (Kyrell) with incredible knowledge of the mangroves and sea life. We were 7, ages 18 to 55, and every single one had a blast in the kayak and snorkel experience. If I have a criticism for bettering the experience it would be to have the pick up person dressed in an identifying shirt or hat or with a sign or even a green umbrella! Our driver was in jeans and a black t-shirt, sitting on a pylon and smoking a cigarette; it took me about ten minutes of asking around to get to him as our driver.

Great excursion! Kaz and Nashan were fantastic kayak guides, sharing tons of information about the local fauna and wildlife both in and out of the water. Snorkeling was great too! The van service picked us up and dropped us off right near our cruise ship- super easy to find and the tour operator was very communicative.

This is a perfect excursion for shorter port call. Kass and Patricia were our guides and they were wonderful…very knowledgeable on the sea life and the fauna. Pick up was easy right at the windmill when you get off the ship. Highly recommend.
