SoCoHo Eco Halve dag - Mangrove kajakken & Reef snorkelen

I booked this tour a month in advance of my trip and provided my pickup location at the time of booking. A week before my departure, I called to personally confirm all arrangements, including transportation, and was assured that everything was set and that my location was within the pickup area. Unfortunately, just two days before my scheduled activity, everything changed. I was informed they would no longer honor the pickup arrangement that had already been discussed, provided, and confirmed weeks earlier. Because of this last-minute issue, I had no choice but to cancel my booking. The most frustrating part is that this could have easily been avoided if the staff responsible for confirming reservations were properly informed about the company’s pickup policies and procedures. Guests rely on accurate information when planning activities during a limited vacation window. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and, in my opinion, the situation was handled poorly. Better communication, training, and accountability are needed so future guests do not have their plans disrupted at the last minute.

We had a great experience. Sativa took us through the mangroves and snorkeled with us. He was very informative and showed us all kinds of local sea life. Jensen was our boat driver and he was fabulous. Super nice and funny. And Terry, our Driver. picked us up at the hotel and brought us back, made a few stops along the way. He was amazing. I can’t say enough. We had a wonderful day.

Absolutely brilliant days experience kayaking through the Mangroves then speedboat to Cades Reef & snorkelling experience. Our guides were brilliant, pleasant, funny & engaging & very knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this trip enough.

The entire experience was extraordinary! South Coast Horizons is amazing! We were picked up by Terry at our resort and he was amazing! Knew the island well and even took us to some shops on our way back! Our Kayak / Snorkel instructor was extremely knowledgeable with years of experience we felt very safe! Bring bug spray for the mangrove kayaking ! The boat driver was a hoot and equally as knowledgeable as our instructor- they took us out to the reef by boat and you jump in right from there! They keep eyes on you the entire time swimming in the open ocean and it’s absolutely breathtaking! 5 stars plus 2!!!

Very cosy, and since we booked of season it was a “private” tour. Very nice guide and driver, that just made the trip better. Huge plus that they did support being environmentally careing.

Wonderful trip through the mangrove to the beach and a short boat ride out to Cades reef. Lots of fish and crabs seen including an Eagle Ray and Baracudas

I accidentally rated this excursion as 1 star! Many apologies. I meant it to be a 5 star review. Wife and I really enjoyed it. The staff and organization of the tour was excellent indeed! Would definitely recommend it. Of the 5 excursions we did on the cruise, this would be the one we’re likely to repeat.

This is a pretty low-key tour. The kayak through the mangroves is fairly short but nice. Snorkeling is also nice, but not life changing. This would be a nice tour for beginners or those who want something simple that doesn’t take the whole day. The snacks at the end was a nice touch.

We had a great time kayaking through mangroves. The snorkeling was good. We saw a lot of fish and several sea turtles. The staff kept a close watch over everyone. They provide snorkel, mask, and fins. They also provide a floatation device. You take a van ride to get to the mangrove, get on the kayaks and paddle for about 15 minutes. Then you get on a boat for about 10 minutes to the reef. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes. All of the staff was great.

The kayaking was super cool but unfortunately because of the strong winds the snorkeling was disappointing.
