The guys were all awesome!! This was so much fun!!
Quite a unique adventure we all loved it
They give you a map and let you explore on your own. Really enjoyed it. I will say that the last part was a little difficult because the current was trying to take us back out. I got overheated and they were quick to get me hydrated and cooled down. They were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring at your own pace. We appreciate you mentioning our team—we're always happy to help when guests need assistance, and we're glad we could get you cooled down and feeling better. Thank you for your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure!
It was a great activity to do while on vacation or just looking for something to do even if you live in the area! Super relaxing and comes with clear directions of the path to stay on. We stopped on the beach and found some cool shells, along with seeing a dolphin!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you had a relaxing adventure and enjoyed exploring the waterways. Finding shells on the beach and spotting a dolphin always makes for a memorable trip. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back on the water again soon!
Had a great time! A really laid back easy and stress free experience start to finish. The guys gave us a map and we had the freedom to drift around and explore. This is a great way to be in and around water but not on a beach👍🏼
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you had a relaxing, stress-free experience from start to finish. It's great to hear you enjoyed the freedom to explore with the map and discover the waterways at your own pace. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back on the water again soon!
It was a good experience. We didn’t see a lot of wildlife, BUT didn’t get skunked and we saw a dolphin up close. I would recommend the colored (or non-clear) kayak, solely due to the foot pedals. Otherwise it was an easy fun experience. Would do it again either earlier or later in the day.
Thank you for the review! We're glad you had a fun experience and even got to see a dolphin up close. Wildlife sightings can vary from day to day, but we're happy you didn't leave empty-handed. We appreciate your feedback on the kayaks and are glad you enjoyed the trip overall. We'd love to have you back for another adventure, especially during an early morning or sunset outing!
My family had a fantastic time! We went out in the morning before the midday heat and it was beautiful on the water and through the mangroves. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience and I’d recommend to others.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad your family had a fantastic time exploring the mangroves and enjoying the beautiful morning on the water. We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff and your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Awesome trip - Doug was a fun knowledgeable guide. Would definitely do again.
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had an awesome trip with Doug. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure!
We had a great experience until we were in one of the tight tunnels and the oar snapped in half while trying to maneuver, thankfully our group had a tandem so we had and extra oar 🙌🏼 But beware they charged us $79 to replace it! That leaves a bad review for us!
Yes we had to charge you because that was a brand new carbon fiber paddle. And I did not charge you 79$ I charged you 70$ when the full price is 90$. These were a few weeks old. We have all guest sign a liability waiver which includes damage liability. The only way to break your oar on the water is to be pushing off the bottom or off of trees. Which we express not to do to all our guest. This is only the 3rd paddle we’ve ever lost because of how expressive we are on the proper use of the paddles. Sorry that jeopardized your experience but many outfits have a you break it you pay for it policy for a reason. We try to be as fair as possible, if it was an old paddle I wouldn’t have charged you guys.
Doug was great with assisting us. We enjoyed the nature, beautiful views, seeing the wildlife, the beach area to swim.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time with Doug and everything the tour has to offer, from the beautiful scenery and wildlife to the beach stop for a swim. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
