Kind + Experienced Guides! - I am new to kayaking. I have only ever kayaked once years ago.
I felt in such good hands with Miguel and Guillaume. They were kind and paid exquisite attention to the experience of their guests. Guillaume was often at the very back of the group of kayakers to see how we were all doing. Miguel was leading and often checked to see how were doing and would call for a break, if needed. They were both wonderful, kind, experienced guides.

Unforgettable experience - We were traveling with guide Coco and he did really great! Whether you are a beginner or an advanced skier, the kayak ride out to sea was very easy to handle thanks to the instructions of the guide. We were lucky enough to see many dolphins swimming very close to us. Snorkeling in a secluded bay was also a great experience. All around a really successful trip, highly recommended!

Great experience and Bea on top - Great experience as this kayak trip with Bea as guide.
We had the chance to do this outing in a very small group which allowed us to take our time well.
We went out at 9:30 to be present at the time when the animals feed it and we managed to observe three turtles as well as many dolphins.
The snorkling part was very nice also
Bea gave us a very good explanation about turtles, dolphins and other fish observed.
We highly recommend

Good experience - It was a good few hours spent and good value for money. The guide was good and always conscious of where people were and raining them in if they were going outside the group. Not done snorkelling before so was a good experience and will definitely do again.
Managed to see Dolphins and a stingray and of course fish.
Would recommend xplore they were organised helpful and professional

Honest review - It is 6 km of kayakking so it’s pretty intense, but doable for someone like me who does not workout much. It is a 2,5 hour workout.
You will kayak to a fish farm which you can’t enter and hopefully see a dolphin who are lurking for some fish. We were lucky to see 2 dolphins. No turtles were seen. The snorkling itself was a bit disappointing. A few standard fishes and crabs.
Gonza is a great and kind guy. Helpfull and he will take pictures and videos free of charge which is great.

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE, they made us see one thing and it wasn't like that - We had an experience booked to enjoy among friends. Because of a traffic jam half the group was late, we were a group of 10 people. We saw that we were inside a very large traffic jam, so 40 minutes before the start of the activity we called to warn. They told us they'd hope for us not to worry. They called us again to tell us that they would wait until 2, we told them that we would arrive around that time, when we knew our exact time of arrival, we called them again to keep them informed, we arrived at 2:04 they told us that if when we arrived they were still on the beach we could join. Which was totally a lie, we got to and 05 and were told there was nothing to do when they were still all on the beach taking the kayaks. They didn’t provide us with any solutions or join another group (the kayak was already booked so we had one). They didn’t give us any solutions or advise us absolutely anything. 4 more minutes of waiting would have meant nothing and less when more than half the group were our friends.
Pretty bad deal. Very disappointed
