Our tour guide Odla was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained about all the sea life around here and helped us spot 2 Manatees. The glass kayaks are the best to see the lagoon and spot sea life. Odla takes great pictures too and provided suggestions on what else to see in the vicinity. Definitely, not to miss!

Amanda and partner were incredible! They showed such a love for the island and its biodiversity . The instructions were precise and given with ease. Michael was behind the group while Amanda was at the front . She pointed out starfish explained how delicate they were. She was able to track a manatee and video it. The videos and photos were beautiful!

Emmanuel was an amazing guide for our kayaking tour! He was very educated and knowledgeable about the area, and you could tell he really enjoys what he does. He made everyone feel comfortable, explained everything clearly, and kept the experience fun and safe the whole time. He was also super kind and patient, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Emmanuel — he made the experience unforgettable!

Our tour guide was friendly and helpful. The tour itself was great and relaxing. We only got to see a starfish. Our tour guide explained that manatees are only seen during daytime tours. We had a lot of fun kayaking during sunset and appreciated the scenery.

Horrible

ty_c, Aug 2026
My kids fell out the kayak and the lady was VERY RUDE about it she was unprofessional for one it was very windy as I almost fell out as an adult but also the man and his son who were also on the tour couldn’t barely handle the Kayak either then I went to bring my Kayak back so I could swim out and get my babies and the tour guide had my kids pulling her on her paddle boat she also kept saying how her phone is ruined as if that was their fault I ended up having to call the police because when I went back to get them I couldn’t find them come to find out a very nice man helped them and they were in the sand over all HORRIBLE experience I’ve Kayaked before and NEVER had any experience like this and we also book tours when we travel very unpleasant experience and guide

Pam_M, Jul 2026
The two girls, claudia and amanda were very nice and knowledgeable, but we spent most of the time learning how to kayak, getting into the kayaks, and then waiting while they took pictures of everybody, we had about maybe fifteen minutes of kayaking, saw one turtle....

Kayaking

Irene_A, Jul 2026
We had a great experience kayaking. We learned so much about the sea life and the importance in protecting it. Our guides were amazing. We recommend booking this excursion.

Saw the turtles

Adonis_C, Jul 2026
Snorkeling with a jet snorkel is the way to go. The water current was so strong there’s not way snorkeling without a jet is possible. The guide was very knowledgeable about marine life and Garret was able to locate the turtles. I possible try to bring your on mask to ensure proper fit based on what you’re comfortable with. Overall a great experience. If you sign up for it, you will enjoy.

Must try glass bottom Kayak tour with Odla!

Nice relaxing kayaking trip. The tour guides were excellent. Highly recommend it and would try the night kayaking next time.

Great experience, kind, and patient guides.

Erin_C, Jul 2026
The lagoon is very clear, although we did not see manatees, we saw turtles, iguanas, and star fish. This was a great, relaxing activity for everyone in our family, two adults, and two children, ages 7 and 16. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

Very relaxing, informative, and fun activity!

Nadine_N, Jul 2026
Bring your camera and water case cause you will get sprinkled by the paddles and sitting in the kayak!

It was a fun experience...

Emily_M, Jul 2026
It was a fun experience and I did see sea turtles. It just went by very quickly and we were out there for about 45 minutes. The guide was sweet but there were too many of us to keep up with in the group.
