Slim is the best of the best. - It was great having Slim as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great information about the habits and animals. He also was able to find a Cassiopeia jellyfish on our kayaking tour and was great about letting our kids touch it. My 75 year old parents were also with us on this tour and he was awesome at making sure my mother did well and was able to adjust so we all had a great time. My boys loved hearing about Black Beard and enjoyed his jokes. Thanks Slim for making this a great family adventure. He is the best of the best.

Relaxing, Informative! Swish & Slim for the win! - We thoroughly enjoyed our kayak tour. The guides were informed, safe and funny! “Swish” and “Slim” made the experience so enjoyable and combined their knowledge with their comedy which kept us smiling the whole way through!

Great Sunset Adventure - Anslem made our sunset kayaking an adventure! He told us history about the area, showed us species local to the ecosystem and entertained us with a pirate story and many jokes.

We had never kayaked before, but our guides, Slim and Jay, were very knowledgeable and helpful and made sure we were successful and that we enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend this tour and this company!

Jay and Swish - Awesome tour guides - Our tour guides Swish and Jay were awesome and went our if their way to make sure we had an excellent experience. We were able to see a starfish and jellyfish. This was our first time kayaking but Swish and Jay’s assistance it turned out to be a great time. Your arms will be sore but definitely worth it.

Easy water experience - Don’t be afraid of the arm workout! It does take some strength but not painful and not exhausting. Our guide Anslem (Slem) did a great job prepping expectations, getting us in the kayaks, and telling us about the mangrove ecosystem. It was peaceful and serene. It was just enough for a water experience without risk as it was standing depth most of the way and in a protected lagoon. Only improvement area - Waze was going to take me somewhere close but not correct, and parking of course was tight. Otherwise you guys are doing great.

A Kayak experience - Lenny was funny and professional. He had a group of 10, meaning 5 kayaks he was responsible for. He remained professional even though we had a chronic complainer. This was my first time, and when my niece and I couldn't get our kayak on track, he hooked ours to his until we felt comfortable enough to be on our own. Lenny comes highly recommended as a guide. Awesome!

Sunset paddle - We did a sunset kayak with Kevin last night. Nice guy but the paddle was pretty uneventful. Good weather, sunset average but that has nothing to do with their service. Price was quite reasonable.

Recommend adventure for st.Thomas! Anslem is awesome! - Exploring out into the mangroves while simultaneously learning about their history, hearing stories and learning cool facts was so so fun for our group. Anslem was our guide for this evening/after dark tour. So fun, and so knowledgeable. We didn’t bring children but there were two on our tour. He made sure to make it memorable for them.
