Our guide Anslem (Slem) did a great job prepping expectations, getting us in the kayaks, and telling us about the mangrove ecosystem. It was peaceful and serene. It was just enough for a water experience without risk as it was standing depth most of the way and in a protected lagoon. ★★★★★

Logan K.

Anslem made our sunset kayaking an adventure! He told us history about the area, showed us species local to the ecosystem, and entertained us with a pirate story and many jokes. ★★★★★

Alison B.

We thoroughly enjoyed our kayak tour. The guides were informed, safe, and funny! 'Swish' and 'Slim' made the experience so enjoyable and combined their knowledge with their comedy, which kept us smiling the whole way through! ★★★★★
