Had a great trip out with Martha. It was a bit windy and wavy, but that really didnt matter, we all had a fantastic time. We have two children 7&9 and they were so excited to see the turtles. The views from the water are spectacular. Lovely pictures and a great way to end our holiday.
One of the worst experiences ever. This is clearly a pop up shop for quick money from tourists. From start to finish the guide was moody. Picture this.... I'm your guide, you hold the paddle like this, you do this, heavier one in front, lighter one in back, if you need help hold your paddle up. That was literally it!. Less than 5 minutes. No explanation on if we are all holding the paddle correctly, safety briefs on what to do to stabilise yourself if met with a big wave or if we Capsize etc. Guess what, that is exactly what happened, and when this occurred the guide's face was so annoyed, like he was fuming. When we tried to get back into the kayak very much struggling because we were way out and took a big bashing from the sea. He didn't even ask us if we were okay, or reach out his paddle to pull us in. Even with the life jacket I was getting bashed with the waves barely able to stay afloat, he just stared at us. When finally in the kayak again, and ofcourse shaken up, we tried our hardest to paddle against the strong currents. Clearly struggling, he just went way ahead, not bothering to see if we were okay. Remember at the start, when you said if you are in danger hold your paddle up? How is it possible for you too see us if you are racing way ahead?. As I did not feel safe with this guide, made the decision to not continue. He said okay I'll call my colleague and tell them, then just went away. Me and my partner were getting sucked away by the current and with all our might and adrenaline got back to shore and greeted with another moody guide, who was moaning about how we came in at the worst possible bit etc and how dangerous this is.... Excuse me, we got your rubbish Kayak that didn't have any seats back to you in one piece. The equipment is dirty, smelly, and life jackets are rubbish, if you value your life, do not go with these negligent idiots who act like you are a burden. THIS IS YOUR JOB, easily could of died with this idiot
5/5 had a brilliant time. Very tiring but it was well worth it! Miguel was amazing and very helpful.
What an amazing day! Our tour guide Adrian was very friendly and knowledgeable he was so kind and caring, even going snorkling to search for someone’s missing belongings! Unfortunately I injured my knee before I came on holiday but the whole team were extremely accommodating including setting off from a different beach so it was safer for me to get into the kayaks. The reception guy Borja was also very friendly and helpful, he walked with me and my boyfriend to the beach and carried my crutches back to the office and made sure they were waiting for me on the beach on our return just so I wouldn’t be without. The whole experience was incredible, we saw 3 dolphins and a turtle and our guide Adrian took some lovely photos that we will treasure! Adrian even took time out of his day to guide us to one of his highly commended restaurants following the tour. We would definitely be back in a heartbeat. Undeniable 5 stars, unforgettable experience.
Absolutely amazing tour! The guide Adrian was amazing and really made the trip unforgettable! Thank you!
Adrian our tour guide was absolutely fantastic - he is a very hard worker and always made sure everyone in the group was okay and got fantastic photos! We seen 2 turtles and loads of dolphins.. such a great tour!
Booked before we arrived on holiday, very communicative via WhatsApp, hotel pickup and drop off included when booked through TripAdvisor. Actual activity was moved earlier due to weather conditions, all kit provided. Struggled with the kayaking itself, my wife found the choppy conditions too much and we had to cut the activity short. One of the guides helped us back in through challenging conditions. We capsized twice, both my wife and I are on the larger size and we found the kayak difficult to sit in and get comfortable on so beware if this sounds similar to you. The company couldn’t have been better and could thoroughly recommend them!
What an experience to see turtles 🐢 and dolphins 🐬 up close🤗 Nothing to say about the reception until our excursion with our great guide Pao. I highly recommend, if the opportunity arises we will return. Thank you again for this wonderful adventure. Mucha gracias 😉
Adrian was the perfect guide, so knowledgeable about the location and wildlife. I absolutely loved getting to see a sea turtle up close. The snorkelling provided a much needed break, the tranquility of the sea bed and the little fish that populated it felt so calming and serene!
Wonderful experience lead and managed by people who were not only expert but also cared. I am a wheelchair user and things were comfortably adapted to meet my needs without fuss. We were very well looked after from start to finish and saw turtles and dolphin as well as a multitude of fish during the optional snorkelling part of the trip. Excellent value too.
