- Tropical Kayak Adventures - Please Read Before Booking!
Acting as a magnifying glass, our 100% transparent kayaks provide the perfect opportunity to bask in the beauty of the western coastline and see the wonders of the ocean, without getting wet!
You’ll have an up-close look at the vibrant colors of our richest ecosystem. If you look up, you’ll see the breathtaking contrast between the Caribbean Sea and Saint Lucia’s world renowned Pitons.
If you do fancy getting wet, grab your snorkeling gear and dive straight in. Who knows, you may encounter some new furry friends on land too as we cruise the island’s Bat Cave.
Don’t forget to visit the Beacon Restaurant, one of the only self served, buffet styled restaurants with the most astounding backdrop. Please note that the buffet closes at 3:30pm daily.

A great time was had❤️ - This outing was exciting, challenging, and fun. At first, I couldn’t find the meeting location. But St Lucian’s being who they are, I got exact directions from a gentleman fixing a door. Once the activity began, our guide took us on a journey along the Soufrierre coastline. We ended up in a cove where we snorkeled for about two hours and that was just incredible. The ride back was challenging as the water level had risen but we pulled it together and successfully made it back to land. The included lunch was delicious overlooking The Pitons and the town below. All in all, it was one of our best outings ever!!

Snorkeling - The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us some significant views. Then we went snorkeling and a specific area and it was fun.

Great Experience - The clear kayaks provide a great view and the tour was not too strenuous. Got to snorkel for about 45 minutes and saw lots of fish in very clear blue water. Would recommend for anyone wanting a little exercise and snorkeling whether on a cruise or staying on the island. Lunch also provided after the tour at the Beacon Restaurant.

Wonderful experience kayaking and snorkeling! - What an exciting adventure! We learnt to kayak and snorkeling in a few hours at beautiful Soufriere, St Lucia.
Transportation is not included so we took a taxi to the meeting point. Once we arrived, we got a short briefing and practiced on kayaking as well as a colour pictorial sheet to help identify fish and corals that we saw. We kayaked lesiurely for about 30-45 minutes until we arrived at the snorkeling point. Point to note, it's an extremely rocky area, so we had to be careful. It was our first time snorkeling and our tour guide, Yohanse was incredibly patient and pleasant teaching us. He got us to "trust" our life jackets and just enjoy the snorkeling. We understood why this area was chosen as there was a variety of fish as well as underwater fauna. Incredibly beautiful to see! We took swims in different areas to view the variety of fish but got caught up with the high tide as we were in the water for a long time. This made the return journey difficult. Perhaps our guide can manage our time so we return in calmer waters. All in all, this was an experience we were happy to have done with our experienced guide.

Unlike Anything You've Seen Before! - This was SO COOL! We did a LOT of kayaking - out on the water for about 3 hours - since we chose to only snorkel for about 20 minutes. Yohannsey was a fantastic guide and showed us EVERY DETAIL of the island - and the reef environment which we could see the whole time, just by looking through our boat. He took us to a great, secret spot to pull up and snorkel from. The lunch that was included was maybe the BEST FOOD WE HAD IN THE TWO WEEKS we were on the island, at the Beacon Restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great combination of kayaking and snorkeling - We booked this a couple of days in advance. When we got to the meeting point it turned out that we were the only couple on the tour, so got a private tour. Yohann, our guide, was great giving just enough information to make it interesting but keeping it light enough to feel chilled out. Because you are going to go into and out of the kayak on a small rocky beach, we appreciated our water shoes. Also worth noting that the meeting point is directly on Hummingbird beach. We were out on the water for over 2 hours and my husband was really impressed with the snorkeling: nobody else around and loads of activity under water. I enjoyed watching it all through the bottom of the kayak. We drove to the restaurant ourselves at the end and enjoyed a nice buffet lunch with great views. Overall, a great morning activity.

They don’t communicate - I did the drone photoshoot. The photos turned out AMAZING! Yohance was very nice & great. My only issues is I still haven’t received my edited photos that were part of the shoot. I also didn’t receive my video. Yohance stated it would only take about 1-2 for me to get the edited pictures back. After 2 weeks passed I reached out via What’s App, Instagram, and email because when I reached out I could never get an answer or response. It was so bad I got my bank involved to dispute the charges since my services were not fully rendered. This also happened to my best friend who had her shoot the same day as I did. I finally received a message back on What’s App. I was told there was a back log in editing & that I should get my pictures back by the end of this week (May 31st). I’ve been back from St. Lucia since May 12th. I understand if they’re short staffed or behind but, they are horrible at communicating. This is not cool for people who come & pay money and they don’t complete everything. Save your money & book the photoshoot elsewhere. Another friend of mine book with another company on the same beach & received her edited pictures in no time. I don’t know why Tropical Kayak Adventures can’t keep their word with what they offer. I will have to end up editing my own pictures. I hope this review saves someone some money.

Kept cancelling at short notice - We'd booked well in advance but received a message late the night before asking us to reschedule to the next day. They then cancelled again so we rescheduled for the following day. They message that morning, just as we were about to make the 90min drive from the North and cancelled again. Kind of spoilt our honeymoon a bit. Not only was it the thing we were most looking forward to, it also meant we wasted three days as kept changing our plans for them.
