Great experience

Cyrus and his team did a great job at keeping us entertained during the two-hour trip. We saw plenty of dolphins with their babies, it was great. Forget paragliding and jet-skiing. This is the activity you want to do. Which is also great if you skipped arms at the gym this week.

Fun trip

This kayak trip was a lot of fun. The guides were great. We saw a few dolphins and the 5:30 booking allowed us to see a beautiful sunset while on the water.

Memorable activity for my boyfriend and I’s first vacation together

The guides were very charismatic and knowledgeable about the area. Only one kayak flipped over and they immediately came and helped them get back up. The sunset was beautiful and there were a lot of dolphins and birds. We also saw a stingray and sturgeon jump out of the water!
