Definitely a must-go

An unforgettable experience. Kayaking to the deep ocean and seeing beautiful coral reefs and species like fish and sea turtle through snorkeling. The guide are very professional. Giving Instructions and help customers with any issues. My phone dropped while getting back to kayak. The guide helped me dive to pick it up. I really appreciate that.
I highly recommend!

Humpback breached right in front of us!

So cool seeing humpbacks and their calves, one of them breached right in front of us. We then snorkeled with sea turtles. All around awesome day but be prepared to paddle a lot and be exposed to a lot of sun. Our guide Wes was also terrific.
Highly recommend

Great experience. Very cool to see the whales out on the silent water. It was magical to paddle way out and just listen and watch. Unfortunately the whales were shy that day and stayed really really far away, but still cool
1/4 AWESOME

Worth booking!

I booked the tour very last minute just for myself and I’m so glad I did. Kayaking to go see the whales is much better than booking a tour on a boat to see the whales. I got some great photos and videos of the mountains and some of the whales that got close to my kayak.
One thing I would say is that there started to be a little bit of arguing between the two guides once we got to the turtle reef to go snorkeling. There is really no need to get uptight over anything because in reality the people on the tour have no idea what something should look like or how it should be properly done, so once they would start bickering with each other then you could tell there was something not being done right.
Also, I would suggest that both guides give an example of jumping out of the kayak and how to get back into the kayak. This was a little bit of an issue for when we were getting back into the kayak and one of the guides was getting a little irritated on how people were getting back into their boats but the thing is no one really showed us how to get into them. So just explaining and giving an example would be really helpful. Overall, I would definitely go again with this tour group! Worth the price.
FYI…parking was a major problem so I would recommend getting there early. Someone really needs to be guiding people into spots because it became a huge ordeal and I was almost late getting situated with parking.
Amazing!

Kayaking and snorkeling with little instruction
Stephanie_L
, Jul. 2021
We did get to snorkel and kayak, but it was just an average experience. We started late, which wasn't a huge deal as it was only 15 minutes, but the tour ended up being under 3 hours (my gps says 2 hours 31 minutes on the water) when it was stated as a 3.5-4 hour tour. One of the guides was super helpful, but the other seemed to be in an altered state and at one point appeared to fall asleep on his kayak and drift off from the group. We spent what seemed like a lot of time waiting for the guides to figure out what they were doing vs actual snorkeling/kayaking. In the end, we got to see a few turtles and snorkeling over the reef was neat, but I feel like our experience was more of a gear rental service than anything else.
Response from Host , Aug. 2021
That is disappointing Stephanie, I am sorry you did not have a great experience (we are training some new guides and I will certainly let them know about your review)
2.5 hours on the water is the correct timing. Please remember that the 3.5 hour tour time is the TOTAL time it takes to do the tour which includes passing out all the gear, launching, landing and collecting all the gear again...as with all the other kayak companies the total time estimate helps people to know what time the tour begins from check in until we are back on the beach everything is completed.
Good but try to go on a day where winds are lower than 30 -30 mph winds

We did see a sea turtle and lots of fish which was great. Kayaking out to our destination was good until we hit 30 mph winds and my 12 year old son’s kayak capsized. Did not receive a lot of help when that happened and had to ask for help as one of the tour guides paddled by him and said, “You're doing great!” when my son was crying and stuck in the water.
Turtles!

Great Kayak Snorkel Trip!

My wife and I had a blast! Wes and Red were super nice and informative. Wes guided us in our trip and was really helpful, knowledgeable, and great to talk to. He helped us find turtles and tons of awesome fish. The fresh coconuts upon arrival were an added bonus! Would definitely book with them again.
BOOK IT NOW!!!

Really awesome experience. I love Kayaking anyway, but being able to be so far out in the ocean and then to see the WHALES!!!??? Incredible. Honestly, I wish it had lasted about two hours longer! Also the whale-sounds microphone thingy Red has is REALLY cool, as well as the underwater cameras!!! An absolutely excellent deal on an incredible experience!!

Fue una excelente aventura. Estar tan cerca de los animales acuáticos es una muy bonita experiencia. Fue nuestra primera vez en Kayak y no estuvo tan mal. Una experiencia altamente recomendable 💕
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
