    Andy was an incredible guide for our mangrove kayaking tour! From start to finish, he made the experience both relaxing and exciting. He was extremely knowledgeable about the mangroves and took the time to explain the ecosystem, pointing out wildlife and sharing interesting facts about the area that we would have never noticed on our own. The tour itself was beautiful and peaceful, with calm waters and stunning scenery all around. Andy made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident, no matter their experience level, and kept the group engaged the entire time. His passion for nature and the island really came through, making the tour even more special.

    Must do!

    Mitch was great, kept the group together but also made sure we all got a chance to see the turtles, fish, conch, and even saw a crab when we stopped for a break. He was full of so much information, even just in casual conversation. Thank you, Mitch (and team) this was truly an experience we’ll never forget.

    Fun morning in the Mangroves

    Minh_N, Jun 2026
    Efficient pickup from our resort. We started by getting towed to the mangroves. Then our guide, Mitch, led us on a morning tour that included several stops where he would explain some of the details re the wildlife. Mitch was super nice, knowledgeable and interesting. He talked about the mangroves, turtles and conch amongst other things. We saw a baby lemon shark, some turtles, conch, jelly fish and fish. There is a significant amount of paddling and it will get hot under the sun even though we’re out on the ocean. Overall, a fun excursion.

    The team was very helpful. They did everything to make us comfortable. If we had any challenges, they were there to assist us every step of the way. It was a great adventure. And they really educated us on the mangrove and the Conch sharks,fish etc..

    Great excursion. Picked us up on time at our hotel and transported us to the marina for an easy launch. Our guide De was great and we saw lots of turtles, a baby lemon shark, sting ray, puffer fish, conch, a crab and a baracuda.

    Didn’t see many things

    Roxanne_E, Apr 2026
    Sometimes there are only a few wildlife. The experience was still fun. Not too strenuous. Nice guide.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hi dear, Thank you so much for your feedback! 💙 Yes, wildlife sightings can vary from day to day since everything we see is in its natural habitat, but we’re so happy to hear that you still had a fun and enjoyable experience. 😊 We’re also glad the tour felt comfortable and not too strenuous, and that you enjoyed your time with our guide that truly means a lot to us! Thank you again for choosing Clear Bottom Adventures, and we hope to see you again on your next visit! 🌊🚣🏽‍♀️✨

    The couple hours in our kayak were peaceful and the turtles we saw were amazing. I loved the clear bottom kayaks.

    Great Afternoon

    Danny_C, Mar 2026
    An incredible way to spend a couple hours! Our tour guide (Ted?) was great. We saw MANY turtles, puffer fish, conch and baby sharks (yes, we all sang the song). I would really recommend this tour!

    Wonderful tour

    Crystal_F, Mar 2026
    Edwin was our guide and was amazing. Even spotted a lemon shark on our way back and unhooked us so we could see it

    Do it once

    Daniel_G, Mar 2026
    The guides were great, only issue on our tour was the tide was going out so had to avoid some of the mangrove area and there wasn't much sea life to see other than some turtles. Really appreciated the group tow out to the mangroves! The water was great, got to see a different part of the island, high end yachts etc.

    Turtle adventure

    karen_b, Mar 2026
    The experience was awesome. Hard to hear as we were in the back but other than that it was great. Maybe guide could use some sort of microphone

    A great experience!!

    Lori_K, Mar 2026
    Bring your sunscreen! Even if it’s raining before your trip! We didn’t bring ours and once the sun popped back out, we wished we had it:)

    Fun and Informative

    Martin_H, Mar 2026
    Fun and informative. Our guide Nick shared his knowledge of the habitat where we kayaked. Saw lots of turtles, a live conch and a few lemon sharks.

    Just do it when you are in TCI!

    Erick_L, Mar 2026
    Slow paced kayaking through the mangroves, the water is so clear! You are guaranteed to see turtles, small sharks, and rays. The tour guide will go out of their own to ensure you have good sightings. Just do it!

    Thanks Ted !!

    Nancy_H, Mar 2026
    Great communication planning the trip, Ted,TED, was a great tour guide. They offered to pick up and drop off at our VRBO included, which was wonderful. Four stars not five because there wasn’t any introduction to the activity, we were just put onto the clear bottom kayaks and asked to wait. A little bit of an introduction would’ve been great. The mangrove area gets fairly crowded with other boats… But it’s also crowded with lots of turtles so that did not disappoint! If deciding between a clear bottom boat and a regular kayak, my recommendation would be to go with the clear bottom so you can see the turtles pass under you! Thanks, Ted

    Excellent experience....

    Susan_S, Mar 2026
    Excellent experience. Would recommend. Viator did not disappoint again. Guide was excellent and knowledgeable as usual.

    Ted, our tour guide, was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. We saw several (more than a dozen) green sea turtles, and my wife got to hold a jellyfish.

    Great kayaking - lots of turtles

    Kathleen_M, Feb 2026
    Fun experience in clear kayaks to see turtles, fish, etc. A beautiful and relaxing time taking in the sights in the water and beautiful area. Tour guide friendly and knowledgeable

    Clear kayaking was so much fun! We got to see baby sharks, turtles, conch, jellyfish and more! Cheese was a great tour guide. We felt welcomed and safe throughout the entire two hr experience. I’d recommend and I’d definitely go back! Thank you cheese for taking care of us!

    Meenakshi_R, Feb 2026
    High yield tour that was well run, included hotel pick up, and gave us the chance to see lots of wildlife and enjoy the mangroves. Perfect!

    Such a great experience!

    Todor_T, Feb 2026
    Kayaking was so much fun! It was very easy to do and everyone got a hang of it after a few minutes of bumper cars. Everything was perfectly organized. Our tour guide, Nick, was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of interesting facts about the red mangroves, the sea turtles, the conch, jellyfish, and sharks. We got to see all of these (except for the shark, which was out to lunch) up close. They'll give you a dry bag for your stuff, but prepare to get your bottom wet while sitting in the kayak. I also recommend wearing a hat, sunglasses, long sleeves and sunscreen as you'll be in the hot sun for 2 hours. Be prepared for maximum enjoyment!

    Clear blue water & beautiful turtles

    Patta_X, Feb 2026
    This experience was lots of fun! The amount of tour time was perfect. Two hours is all you needed. You can bring your own personal belongings and they provide a dry bag to put them in. You’re going in a steady speed paddling so you won’t fall behind and get to enjoy seeing the animals in the water. Remember to bring too camera for pictures and videos!
