Great family fun for everyone! - Beautiful kayak trip, a peaceful background ukulele, lovely snorkeling, and serine river views!! All ages (our 8 year old to 56 year old) had a blast, our guide even made the little one a rose from the native leaves. Overall 10/10.

Great time! Highly recommend! Beautiful views! - The guides were super fun and informative (Gabe and Kolo). They made sure we all had fun and were safe. The equipment was in great condition, no issues for us. The views from the kayak both on the river and open ocean were spectacular-open ocean kayaking was easy. The area around us was not crowded; not over run by other tourists. The snorkeling was really good even though it was just off the beach. We saw lots of different fish, eels and turtles. I am told the turtles hang out on this particular bay often. After kayaking on the river and snorkeling from shore, we had sandwich lunch on the beach. Our guides had grass mats for us to sit on and the sandwiches were from local store. 2 of us needed GF. The GF bread was good! Then we had chips, juice and cookies. After lunch, Kolo broke open 2 coconuts and we all shared the coconut water and coconut meat. Both guides were funny and very sweet! Highly recommend! 2/26/26
