Helpful and friendly guide. Worked great with adult beginners and 3 young children (5,7, 9) who he helped overcome initial fears of out in ocean - Safety focused,patient,friendly , and knows areas for good snorkeling - we were lucky to see many whales due to time of year there … but snorkel and kayak experience was great in all aspects too. I’d highly recommend this for all ages - You’ll see many sea plants, corals ,and creatures and have a lot of kayaking fun too . Well done - 5 STARS

Our family came for a fantastic make a wish trip and our little guy got a bit of motion sickness. Our guide was kind and gave us some snacks and water. He was very patient seeing as our son was only 7 he made the experience fun and recommended a great local place to eat. Great time and great experience thank you!

It was a great experience. I would do it again! We had booked for the day before at Turtle Town but the weather and surf were borderline. Staff were really good about deciding to cancel and rebook.

It was the best experience I’ve ever had on the water. The guide was very knowledge, fun & we got to see many turtles & whales.

This was a great tour for beginners. My two kids 10 and 12 had a great time kayaking and snorkeling for the first time.
