We enjoyed our experience so much. We did the sunset kayak and even got a little night kayak in. We are no youngsters, yet found it perfect for any age. Perez was the greatest guide and kept us informed and entertained. We would highly recommend this tour

We had an amazing time on the kayak sunset tour in St. Thomas! Swish was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic—super knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole experience fun and relaxing. We felt safe the entire time and learned so much about the area. The sunset views were breathtaking and kayaking through the calm waters was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Swish as your guide!

We had a nice tandem kayak tour past a lot of mangroves, one section even thru a little tunnel. We learned that the water is brackish in some areas. We were shown an upside down jelly fish and went out to where the ocean hit a dead coral beach. I hoped to learn more about the area and mangroves, but our guide was pretty quiet most of the time. We were the last two at the end of the day, so for us it was a private tour!

10/10 we missed our original reservation and the rescheduled us. When we showed up somehow our reservation was lost but they rearranged some things and still got us out on a private tour!! Our guide Matthew was super chill and informative. We had the best time with some amazing views.

Had a great time kayaking. Matt did a great job and was very cheerful. The mangroves were very cool as was the coral beach.
