“This was a great first experience kayaking and definitely suitable for beginners. Our guide was very kind and always made sure he stayed close by in case we got stuck. Maneuvering through the mangroves can be tight and tricky at times but you definitely learn as you go. We unfortunately didn't see any manatees this time of year but still enjoyed this tour very much. The water was calm and relaxing, making for a great time. I only wish there could have been some more education about the actual mangroves but besides that we had a very good experience!”

“Activité sympa mais sans plus: nous nous attendions à des fonds magnifiques, pleins de coraux et de poissons . Au final, peu de choses à voir du moins en snorkeling car les fonds sont à 25 m. Nous étions avec plusieurs groupes de plongeurs en bouteille et on est passés pour les parents pauvres auxquels on ne fait pas trop attention. C’est dommage , l’équipage n’était vraiment pas sympa.”
