Swen was our guide. He was very informative and taught us a lot about the terrain and life on the island. We saw plenty of turtles. Kayaking across the bay was a nice little workout. We enjoyed every part of the excursion. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing. Our guide Sven was absolutely amazing he not only brought us to a beautiful beach for snorkeling which we saw many sea turtles and other fish and reefs but then brought us to another beautiful beach for kayaking. We saw places we would’ve never seen if it wasn’t for him, fed us a good sandwich at the beach and truly this was my favorite event out of all the activities we had done. Very memorable!

It’s definitely worth it !

Sven was such a knowledgeable guide. We were able to see many things during our snorkeling part of the trip. The kayaking part was so much fun. Would definitely recommend others to try it!

The tour was amazing! Sven was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the area and the wild life we were looking at. It was windy the day we went so the water was a bit choppy on the way out but once we were in the bay where we snorkeled it was very calm and we saw several turtles!
