This trip was amazing! We got to learn how to kayak through instructional help from our guide and then put it into practice in the water! It was a little scary at first but once I got comfortable it was really fun! We saw lots of views not seen by the roads or streets and even did some searching for underwater creatures. Guide was super cool and knowledgeable. Would recommend!

I loved watching the dolphins and learning about them and some of the area. It was a wonderful day. I would most definitely recommend this ride. Maybe could improve the top of the boat with more shade.
