Great tour led by Claudia and Michael. Kayaking was very easy and they gave a lesson on how to kayak if you haven’t done it before. We saw starfish, iguana, and other marine life. They were very helpful with a toddler (4yr) and a grandma (70yr). Great activity for the whole family and the lagoon was very pretty.

Wonderful from start to finish. Our guide, Emmanuel was amazing. The logistics were handled efficiently and effectively. Once on the water the experience was amazing. Emmanuel shared his expertise about local flora, fauna, history... A great morning with a fantastic group and guide.

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!

Very relaxing time. The instructor was very helpful and informative. Took pictures for us. Showed us all the safety procedures as well. We saw a lot of starfish iguanas and pelicans. The water was very calm and relaxing.

Fantastic

Very peaceful tour guides Amanda and olda were amazing and made the experience as great and more highly suggest

Great tour

Patrick_T, Apr 2026
Odla was an awesome guide. We had an 8am tour and it was only my wife and I on the tour. Odla took us through the lagoon and found a baby manatee on our way back. We definitely recommend this tour.

Fun experience

Gina_M, Apr 2026
The staff were wonderful. It could have been the 11am tour time, but there was only a couple fish and starfish visible from the boat. No manatees. The water was fairly cloudy and the only thing we really saw was grass under us. I cannot emphasize how much the staff make it a fun experience. We would have liked to taken more time near the breakwater and surfed a bit. 😊

Celebrating life

Jojo_L, Apr 2026
I love it So relaxing and fun I’m definitely do it again They have an amazing and friendly team, they explain you exactly what to do. I was nervous in the beginning but instructor Emmanuel makes all my nerves go away, he’s so cool and passionate about what he’s doing . Recommend you to try and definitely get Emmanuel , he’s the best 🤞🏿

Highly recommend for families!

Megan_S, Apr 2026
Shelly was our guide and she was incredible! She was able to point out wildlife and sea creatures so the whole family could see and learn. The clear kayaks are awesome! Being able to see below us was really cool. Our kids are 12 and 9 and this was perfect for them.

Excellent experience!

Letty_B, Apr 2026
Relaxing kayak trip! Perfect for beginners, but still fun even if you kayak often. Beautiful water and helpful guides.

Awesome Experience

CARLOS_B, Apr 2026
Awesome Experience. We were first timers and the little class at the beginning was all we needed. We saw Turtles Starfish, and a Manatee along the way. Would do this again.

Our tour guides were amazing, thank you Jann. It was a fun way to spend a morning! Great way to see the wildlife and San Juan!

Robert_B, Apr 2026
You need to check to see if everyone can kayak and understand. We were kept back from exploring more because some people could not kayak and it was aggravating. We never saw a manatee or sea turtle, one fish. It was not what they said it would be

Loved It

Awesome trip! Very informative. Our guide was passionate and supportive. I have a deeper appreciation for the Lagoon.

Fun time

Leisha_B, Apr 2026
Good kayaking experience. Guides made it fun. Many folks had zero kayaking experience and did fine. Saw some cool birds, turtles, and lizards.

Highly recommended

Madison_W, Apr 2026
We had fun! It was a last minute idea and we were glad we did it. We did get wet from the waves. we didn’t see very much wild life but it was still a great experience with Shelli!

Fun trip

Autumn_C, Apr 2026
Amanda and Claudia were outstandingly knowledgeable during our tour and offered extensive insights into the stunning lagoon and its historical background. The site is remarkably BEAUTIFUL! It's an experience worth repeating. I'd gladly come back.

Not As Described

Kate_C, Mar 2026
I had high expectations of this tour from the photos and description. It was nice to get out on the lagoon and do some kayaking, and the two tour guides were fun and knowledgeable, but the description of the tour is misleading. There was no time spent leisurely looking through the glass bottoms. I saw no fish through , just weeds at the beginning and end. We saw one starfish which we were led to by one of the guides. There was mostly paddling in dark waters with information about the lagoons from the guides. There were about ten kayaks on our tour paddling in a row behing the guide. If you weren't right up front, you couldn't hear anything being said, including what was being pointed out in the trees. No one in our group mentioned this tour when talking about their favorite activities of our trip. The large lizard in the parking lot was the best thing. I was disappointed.

Fun and Relaxing Experience

Diamond_B, Mar 2026
Shelly was an awesome guide! Our kiddos (4yr and 9yr) really enjoyed seeing the sea turtles, starfish and colorful fish in the lagoon. Highly recommend!

It was great, because this is the place that I’ve swim before. The place that I was qualified to compete in Dubai’s World Special Olympics. Those were good times.

Angela_S, Mar 2026
With not having any experience with kayaking, it was very easy to learn. I felt safe in the water with two instructors guiding us. I highly recommend this activity to anyone.

Morgan_O, Mar 2026
Great for first time or less experienced kayakers! Shelly was an amazing guide! She was very detailed when providing us information regarding the waters we were kayaking in. She also did a great job of helping the group stay together. She even gave us a list of different places (eating/drinking/activities) to try in San Juan! A very enjoyable experience with a wonderful guide (:

10/10 recommend

Kiara_B, Mar 2026
Amazing experience! Beautiful views, was able to see manatee and sea turtles! Easy to learn if you’re a beginner. The guides were great too!

Lovely morning on the lagoon.

Annileen_W, Mar 2026
Our tour guides were awesome! If you’ve never been on a kayak this would be a great experience. The tour guides were very patient and knowledgeable. They also took pictures and sent them to us at the end of the tour and gave us a list of recommendations for food and beaches.

Francisco_C, Mar 2026
I had an amazing kayak experience and a big part of that was thanks to our guides, Chris and Shelly. From the moment we started, they were both welcoming, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable on the water. They explained everything clearly, made sure everyone felt safe, and kept the whole trip fun and relaxed.

Nothing Short of Amazing

Shrylnee_S, Mar 2026
Claudia and Odla were absolutely amazing. It was me and my daughter’s first time kayaking and we had an absolute blast! Odla made it fun, guided us with ease and made the experience one that we’d do again. Claudia was great with explaining the tour, as well as the ecosystem of the water creatures. When I return, I’ll definitely visit Claudia and Odla again for another trip around the Atlantic Ocean.

Such a fun experience on...

Carla_Z, Mar 2026
Such a fun experience on the clear kayak tour with my boyfriend! Our guide Amanda was amazing—so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the local wildlife. We spotted a starfish, a jellyfish, and even a turtle while out on the water. 🐢✨ Such a great time in Puerto Rico. If you’re looking for a unique and relaxing adventure, I highly recommend this tour!
