Tour en kayak por los manglares

I thought this was such a neat idea, but the execution was poor. First, it was just way too many people. There were 3 groups of about 10 people. Kayaks contained 2 people, and we were strung together to be towed by boats across a bay to the mangrove area. It was long strings of people and kayaks, a little ridiculous and way more than I was expecting for a kayak tour. When we got to the mangroves, we split into small groups, and our guide led us to spots and pointed out wildlife and features and educated us, which was nice. We saw many turtles and a few conchs. When our time was up, we paddled back out to the mangrove entrance to wait for all the other groups to come. That took about 15-20 minutes. I suspect our guide was the most quick, and the other guides saw or pointed out more, which is fine, but they should make the experience more consistent. It was sunset, so was a nice time to look at the ocean. HOWEVER, the mosquitoes came out, buzzed around, and had their fill of us. That's a lot of waiting surrounded by mosquitoes. This felt like a cattle herd of a tour. Would recommend trying to find a less popular time of day (perhaps not during peak July month), and if going during dawn or dusk, mosquito repellant is a must.

Great experience! Mikey our guide was great! He was able to connect with a diverse skill level of kayakers and shared lots of info. We saw dozens of turtles, live conch and jellyfish!

Awesome tour. Super convenient hotel pickup which made it cost effective and easy. Great comms from the tour company. But the tour itself was great, very knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating facts about the mangroves. Just the right amount of time paddling in absolutely beautiful mangroves. We saw a ton of turtles, a lemon shark, a barracuda, a cool jellyfish and a conch (that was placed there for the guides to show everyone). Only issue is there were like 2-3 other groups and so there were areas where we had some traffic jams but that’s not the tours fault. The water is wildly clear and the turtles are incredible to see under the clear kayaks. Heavily recommend

We got to see sharks, sea turtles, jelly fish, and conch. If you are considering this tour I would definitely recommend it. The guide was really good and worked hard to show sure all there was to see. It is hot and there is no shade. You will be in the kayak for about 2 hours. With this being said the earlier you go the better. I wore a long sleeve sun shirt, wide brim hat and put on lots of sun screen. This is the best tip I can give you besides telling you to book the tour.

This was a great experience. We were able to see ample smaller and larger turtles, lots of fish, 3 very large barracuda, and even a small lemon shark to top it off. Beautiful area to take kayaks!

This tour is exactly as it is described. The clear kayak tour takes you out into the mangroves to see the natural habitat. The water, of course, is incredible and there is some physicality involved in maneuvering the kayak. We saw a few turtles, a stingray and some baby lemon sharks which was cool. The guide found a small jellyfish and a conk shell we could check out.

This tour is sooo good. You will see so many turtles and learn about them, small sharks, jelly fish, and conch. Bensley was an excellent guide. They tow you across the channel (I loved this part), then guide you around the mangroves. At the end, you can get out in the shallow water. The 5:00 tour was perfect as the sun wasn’t as hot. You are in full sun the whole time. Great for kids and adults.

This was a great experience. Benji was a great tour guide. We saw lots of turtles and one lemon shark. Cool adventure.

Excellent tour, Mikey was very informative about the Mangroves and the wildlife. The Sea Turtles were amazing.

This was a highlight of our trip! Our guide, Mikey, was so knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about sea life and the mangroves.Seeing the turtles was a once in a lifetime experience we will never forget! Highly recommend!
