The weather was wonderful and we were very pleased with everything. I highly recommend them and we will do this again with our daughter. Having a clear bottom kayak was a plus too!”

“Sky was an outstanding guide: fun & knowledgable, great at giving tips & education about the island, wildlife & water all at once. We saw several sea turtles & had a couple come say hello. This was a perfect morning activity for us! We have been paddle boarding before so we were able to use more time exploring but I’m confident it would be a great experience for first timers as well.”

Kris was very informative about the animals and coral we were looking at and allowed us to explore at our own pace. And we got to see multiple turtles!”

Peg was so o.
