    The tour guide taught us how to kayak and use the paddles. It was more of a free for all. Once we were taught how to do it, we just kayaked around, there was no specific direction. Overall it was fun.

    Pleasant and helpful employees. The kayak was adequate for a flat lagoon but the paddles and life jackets were all one size too big for a smaller client.

    First time fun

    Brittany_R, Dec 2024
    This was my husband’s first time kayaking and my first in a 2 person. The staff were kind and helpful, plus let us go out earlier than our reservation. A very fun honeymoon experience!

    Fun excursion!

    Brittany_R, Jun 2024
    We got to pet a baby manatee in the lagoon! The staff were fantastic and very friendly. They helped us with whatever we needed and recommended where to go!

    Easy access to Condado...

    Cheryl_D, Apr 2024
    Easy access to Condado Lagoon. Although we didn’t see manatees or many fish, it was a calm and easy kayak excursion.

    Family friendly fun!

    Sandra_G, Dec 2023
    Extremely friendly staff, excellent family friendly experience! We saw a manatee up close as well as starfish!

    Enjoyable evening on the water

    Stephanie_W, Nov 2023
    I didn’t see any sea life but the experience was really nice. I was able to see both the sunset and the full moon at the same time. It was a calm and pleasant experience.

    Beautiful

    Bad customer service. Fun experience

    Elba_V, May 2023
    Customer service was lacking. Two people talked to us and walked away from us. One walked away talking on the phone and helped another person get on a kayak before us. We just stood there looking lost. Horrible customer service. Kids enjoyed the kayak though

    Very friendly service ,...

    Sitting on the lagoon

    Harry_F, Sep 2021
    The kayaks were ok, there’s no tour guide, so you’re pretty much on your on to go out on the lagoon and come back in an hour. You’re instructed to go down and back, I guess I need clearer instructions, on how far wide of the lagoon are we allowed bc there are other activities going on in the lagoon. But it was decent.

    Awesome Experience!

    Angela_H, Aug 2021
    Awesome experience! Very pleasant and good customer services.Beautiful sight seeing.Would def recommend.

    Great Overall. Other than poor directions

    Noelis_L, Jun 2021
    This experience was great. It was a great bonding experience for couples using double Kayaks. I would do this again. The only issue we had was that the directions were not clearly stated. I used the Viator Chat and they gave me an address 15 minutes from the location. It took me an hour to find them. I had to call the number they gave me through the chat feature 3 times. Thankfully, I left early.

    I was new to kayaking but the staff took their time to explain what I should expect. It was a great experience overall

    Hands down the best experience

    DVaughna_S, Jun 2021
    The guides were friendly and great . The lagoon is beautiful . They came out when they thought we were stuck . Great instructions

    Just chilling!

    Erica_R, May 2021
    Terrifying! I can’t swim and I felt was though the water was taking me to fast, so I had the very nice gentleman to park me under the shade tree where it was safe 🤦🏾‍♀️Lol but it was a great experience for the few seconds I did try lol The staff was great!

    The sweet life

    Tarra_T, May 2021
    The pictures came out really nice that the photographer took. The instructors was really nice. It was a fun experience.

    Great kayak

    Stacey_S, May 2021
    Staff was friendly, taught us how to kayak, relax, great location, easy to find the tent, there is a portable bathroom to use. You can lock up your stuff for $10 extra.

    Can’t wait to go again

    crystal_t, May 2021
    The staff was friendly and accommodating. They helped us get back to shore safely. Only downside Yw they didn’t mention the unlocked boxes which were the standard versus paying for a locker one for $10 while we were out

    NEVER AGAIN VERY RUDE

    shaniqua_g, May 2021
    We never went bc When we got to the address we couldn't find the tour guide . While i was on the phone with him trying to get directions he hung up on me. When i called back he NEVER ANSWERED. I got a call back from a young lady that apologize about what happened and processed my refund that I asked for .
