A great cruise excursion in Tortola! - We had the best time on this tour. John was our guide, and he was incredible! He was very prompt on arrival, knowledgeable about the island, mangroves, and sea life. We were surprised to be the only family on the tour and we love that Hike BVI doesn't cancel for not having enough guests. The walk through the mangroves was SO informative! My kids were impressed and interested in learning. We had just the right amount of time kayaking, a little time to take a quick swim, and enjoyed the ice cold water, punch, and fruit after kayaking. We love hearing about the island as we drove to and from our cruise port.

Great Tortola Mangrove Kayaking Tour!! - Our Guide John was GREAT! Met us coming off the ship at an easy to find location. John took the 6 of us in a private car to tgr Mangrove location and gave us some information about the mangroves in the kayaking tour. Was very nice to learn about the importance of mangroves while having a good time on the water. After the kayaking he took us for a quick tour to see flamingos in the wild and some fresh local fruit! John made sure we were happy the entire time and even helping to deal with some scared family members that were worried about the water. Nice cold water and fresh fruit ended the trip for us! Would totally recommend Hike BVI and especially John for any tour. If you’re looking for a good time, look no further!! Sincerely satisfied customers, Troy and the Taylors.

Mangroves and kayak - You will be kayaking in a lagoon after walking through the mangroves. The tour guide is what made the experience enjoyable. Seth was very knowledgeable and took us on a tour of the island, pointing out history and wildlife. We truly enjoyed our time with him. Great hospitality and comfortable ride. It was like a private tour as it was just my family & the guide.

Kayaking in Tortola - Relaxed private tour- started with car ride to a Mangrove with a short hike on a boardwalk. We then kayaked in a protected bay. Kahlim did a great job explaining plants and provided other facts about the island. Cold bottled water was provided along with fruit and fruit juice.at the end.

A fun time - some small hiccups - Overall, a very positive experience! Our family really enjoyed the mangrove walk and kayak adventure. The guides were kind, knowledgeable, and shared fun facts about the local plants and animals throughout the journey. A few brave adults in our group even sampled some fresh raw seafood straight from the sea—definitely a highlight for the adventurous! After paddling, we were treated to a light fruit snack. While nothing exotic, it was delicious and refreshing, especially paired with the cool punch. The ice-cold towels they provided at the end were divine—a perfect touch after kayaking in the sun! They kindly dropped us off at our chosen restaurant for lunch after the excursion and gave helpful directions for getting back to the cruise port. We did have a couple of small issues. I reached out ahead of time to confirm that a car seat and appropriately sized life jacket would be available for our almost 4-year-old. While they did provide a puddle jumper that fit him well, there was no car seat in the van as expected. I didn’t push the issue in the moment, but it’s something to note for other families. Also, while the booking confirmation noted a 9:00 AM meet-up, they sent a message a couple of days before changing it to 9:15. Unfortunately, I missed it since I was cruising and didn’t have consistent connection. They were also running just a few minutes behind that morning. Despite those minor hiccups, we had a fantastic time and would recommend this experience to other families looking for a mix of nature, activity, and great local hospitality!
