Great time! - We had a great time kayaking through mangroves. The snorkeling was good. We saw a lot of fish and several sea turtles. The staff kept a close watch over everyone. They provide snorkel, mask, and fins. They also provide a floatation device. You take a van ride to get to the mangrove, get on the kayaks and paddle for about 15 minutes. Then you get on a boat for about 10 minutes to the reef. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes. All of the staff was great.

This one’s not to miss! - We had an amazing time on this trip! Going during the quieter period meant that it was only the two of us on the trip that day, and our guides made it extra special for us. The kayaking portion of the trip was brilliant and Sativa even took us out to Cades Bay to spot a few turtles! He was full of knowledge and told us all about the mangroves and the crabs which we also managed to spot. We had a great time snorkelling at Cades Reef and felt safe the entire time. Our guides were great at pointing out sea life when they spotted things, meaning we saw multiple huge rays and some amazing fish! Afterwards we kayaked back to the start where there were local snacks and rum punch waiting for us. We really enjoyed chatting with the whole team and purchased a few things from the gift shop. All in all an amazing experience and one we would definitely do again! You won’t be disappointed if you book this trip!

Beautiful mangroves w/t a Hilarious Staff - The staff is amazing and kept us laughing the whole time. The mangroves were beautiful, but bring your bug spray. The bugs will get you through the mangroves. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go to the reef because the waves and currents were too strong today. We greatly appreciated the staff being cautious. I still enjoyed the snorkeling and was able to see a huge manta ray. The snacks were delicious and they had the best rum punch on the island.

Exciting Outing - I was picked up promptly from my hotel and was pleased that I was with a smaller group of about 12 people. The kayaking through the mangroves was nice - and wish this part of the outing was longer since I love kayaking. We were then taken out to Cades Reef. Was a windy and choppy day on the water so we needed to be very comfortable in these conditions and swimming against the current was a bit strenuous. However we got to see a lot of colorful and interesting fish. I enjoyed the outing, the crew, and my fellow adventurers. We were given a snack and yummy rum punch when we returned. 👍

Friendly staff but... - Friendly staff but overall not worth the price. The kayaking is maybe a 20-minute round trip. Unfortunately, the wind that day made conditions unsafe to snorkel the reef. It might be better on a sunny day, but still not worth the price.

Unfortunately, we were... - Unfortunately, we were unable to do the tour because they had another tour that they couldn't get through on time and we had to return to our ship. The tour driver tried to show us various sites while we waited for the other group to finish, but after two hours of driving around and no audio as to what we were seeing we went back to the ship. The tour company did refund our money and was apologetic for the inconvenience.
