Lauren was an awesome guide. She was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. We met Robert and Sandy on the beach while accommodating another group and it was a pleasure meeting them as well. It was obvious everyone enjoyed their job and enjoyed working g with people!

Kayaking and snorkelling with echo tours was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly made you feel very comfortable. Extra accommodations were made for travel due to time scheduling, which was very much appreciated.

I had so much fun on the kayaking tour with Troy! He was an amazing guide with a vibrant personality and a wealth of knowledge about the area. We kayaked (it’s quite a workout!!), hiked through beautiful rocky waters, played with hermit crabs, and snorkeled to find fish and turtles. We concluded the trip with a delicious painkiller cocktail! The photos, which you purchase separately, were awesome and well worth the price. Thank you so much!
