We booked the kayak, hike, and snorkel ecotour. It was definitely worth it! A little rain did not disappoint. We were able to learn some about the local history and got to see starfish, angelfish, and even a shark. You will not regret booking this tour. ★★★★★

Grant S.

We did the kayak, hike, and snorkel with Slim as our guide. He did an awesome job pointing out lots of marine life along the way. Very funny and engaged us in conversation the entire time. We saw lobsters, lionfish, an upside-down jellyfish, barracuda, and even a reef shark. It was an awesome experience. ★★★★★

Kyrell was an awesome guide for our party of three athletic ladies in their sixties. How lucky we were to have a small group! He guided us through the mangroves and to the beach while pointing out the wildlife and background of the grove. Holding a jellyfish was a treat! Highly recommend this tour if you want personal attention. ★★★★★
