No dolphins but nice route - Very nice tour, we didn't end up seeing any Dolphins but the kayak route was nice and the guide was very friendly. Additionally I left something behind and they were very considerate in helping me get it back despite clashing times.

Professional guides - Paddy and the other guide (I'm sorry, I forget her name now) were so great during our tour. We went on Sunday Sept 1st, 2024. We were one of the lucky groups that got to see a dolphin and we were so impressed with the knowledge our guides had about them and the surrounding area. Paddy answered our questions about the mangroves very patiently, and the other guide was incredibly patient to drag around 2 tourists who were more interested in being on FaceTime with their family and talking through the instructions to paddle. I would not have had the same amount of patience, but their professionalism shone through. I would highly recommend this activity to others.

Great trip - Paddy was our guide today. Good trip for our family of four. The kayaking itself was relaxing, but the dolphins were amazing. We were lucky enough to encounter a mother and two calves and a 4th one. One swam right under our kayak! Kids loved it. Would definately recommend.

Great outdoor experience and wonderful guides - I really enjoyed the kayaking experience. Though we were not able to see dolphins (they're wild after all! But more reason to come back to do the experience again), it was still amazing to kayak and learn about the nature and wildlife from the friendly guides, who are very passionate about the nature and their work. Best part was going through the mangrove, and enjoying being in nature.

Mitchell did a wonderful... - Mitchell did a wonderful job explaining the area and we got lucky with a playful dolphin experience. He even pulled in my parents on their kayak because of the strong current and wind. Thank you Mitchell.

Fantastic Experience - We had a fantastic day. It was a small group of 10 people so everybody could enjoy the tour. We saw many dolphins as they swam around the kayaks. The tour through the mangroves was great fun.

Amazing experience - We saw lots of beautiful birds and pelicans up close which was a treat. We also saw 2 dolphins and got to see the shipwreck which was also a highlight. The mangrove swamps were fun to kayak I and our instructor did a good job if managing a diverse group

Awesome, though not a winter thing - It was a great tour! Although I wouldn't do it again this time of year. We only saw one dolphin and after we finished, one of the staff members said that they hadn't seen any dolphins in the two days prior. The creeks were gorgeous and the shipwrecks were cool!
