We had a WONDERFUL time on our snorkel/kayak tour. Our lucky day started with finding out we were getting a private tour for our family of four, continued with the warm and knowledgeable Kaston as our guide, and included the amazing opportunity to swim with a sea turtle (along with seeing fish and a few leopard sharks). The entire staff was lovely and I couldn’t recommend them more. A few tips: they’ve got lockers - totally worth the money to not worry about losing your car keys or phone in the ocean. The trip was totally doable for our 8/11 year olds, although the little one wasn’t the most effective kayaker.

We found these kayak tours with some Googling. We decided on the snorkeling tour over the cave for just a little more activity. Addy and Ella were our AMAZING tour guides. The waves were a bit high, but they were confident and walked us through the adventure. Both were super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the ocean and what we could see. This was a fantastic choice for any itinerary.

My friend and I got charged for this over a third-party and we were probably charged 235 dollars in total for this. In the past, I have done the same exp for 25% of the cost with no hidden fees. We paid extra fees at the actual company. Also, be careful of kayaking into the sea if it's your first time. My friend and I wiped out a lot because of very high waves and so we got sea water in our mouths, bleh! I wouldn't recommend the activity especially at this price. Boooo to this third-party company!!!

Went out with a small group today with guide Kaya! She was wonderful. Very informative and fun! The water visibility wasnt great today but we still got to swim with leopard sharks. We saw a sea lion passing through as well. Overall a great time!

It was a very bad experience for us. Ocean kayaking was fun but for snorkelling Instead of doing it in middle of the ocean away from the shore and huge waves . They asked us to take our kayaks back to the shore because the instructor couldn’t find a rock to anchor the kayaks And then they instructed us to swim back through the shore’s huge waves and snorkel there ( it was so difficult to swim through those huge waves near the shore )

Our tour guide Josiah was so funny, and knowledgeable. Me and my friend switched to the cave kayak tour because the water was murky!! The company was really amazing at pivoting our plans over. Your waist down will most likely get wet, and your whole body might be wet if it’s a choppy sea day. Well worth the money!!!
