Published on Jan, 2025

Great time and great guide! We only had a group of 3 and Brandon was phenomenal, I also wish I could remember the name of the sweet lady in the gift shop who was super helpful too

Awesome day.

Published on Jan, 2025

Fantastic. Our group’s guide was Tupre and he was great. Engaging, he made sure everyone in the group felt taken care of and also was having a wonderful time. Explained everything clearly for the paddle, he also made sure our time on the island was informative and fun. Our group had a superb day and everyone left happy. Thoroughly recommend the company and if you’re lucky enough to end up with Tupre as your guide, even better.

Absolutely incredible experience!! Tupre was incredibly knowledgeable and an amazing story teller!! Through his great leadership, everyone had an amazing time! Thank you so much!

A magical kayak adventure that was worth every penny...

Published on Jan, 2025

The private kayak adventure was a once-in-a-lifetime, magical adventure that we would recommend to anyone. Because my partner was new to water adventures and was a little bit scared of kayaking and large oceans we booked a private guide so that we would be looked after as we paddled out to the island. Our guide was knowledgable, made us feel safe and secure all throughout the trip. I would recommend this agency to anyone!

Great Adventure for Family

Published on Jan, 2025

We went to the flat island, it was easy to get to. Then we went for snorkeling to the nearby beach and saw many sea turtles.
