It is a bit intense, my 12 year old twins were exhausting halfway back to the starting point. I was struggling through most of it. The guide was very good and adapted to all of us despite our different levels of skill and strength. I would wear water shoes and bring a dry pack. A hardy lunch is provided at the end as well as a snack at the rocky beach.

Excellent!

rebecca_k, Dec 2024

Excellent!! We loved our kayaking experience with Jesus! He was funny, knowledgeable, able to be helpful to all four of the guests. This was the best excursion of our trip. The water was beautiful so kayaking and snorkeling was easy and fun. Thank you so much!

Wonderful!

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Franklin was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, funny and kind and he even added an extra stop at the end of our trip to visit the local farmers market. He kept telling us that this was his hobby more than it was his job, and that was evident throughout the entire experience. It was an hour paddle to a quiet little beach and then an hour paddle back. My husband and I kayak often in rivers but had not kayaked in the ocean before. It was much easier than expected and certainly will be an activity we’ll book on future trips. 10/10 recommend - Thank you Franklin and Jordan for an incredible experience!

Ocean Kayaking and Snorkeling

We had a wonderful day kayaking and snorkeling. Franklin was an excellent guide we highly recommend him! Thank you, for a wonderful day on the ocean!

Kayaking Fun

Mindy_K, Jun 2023

Guide was good, kayaking was not too long and not too short, beach was pleasant and we saw a sloth. Snorkeling was an added bonus. It is great to be out on the water.

Super fun!

At the beginning of our tour, we were told it would be just us (my partner and I) for the excursion. We like meeting other people on excursions so we were a little disappointed but we had an awesome time with our guide! Definitely apply and reapply sunscreen! We kayaked in the open water, then spent some time on the beach, and had pineapple for a snack before kayaking back. Once we were back we had a phenomenal lunch that had already been prepared for us. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Great kayaking

Never been kayaking before but this was amazing. To be on the ocean doing this was a great thrill. Our tour guide was wonderful with great knowledge and lots of humour too.
