FANTASTIC TIME ON THE WATER - Fantastic time on the water! Our guide, axel was kind and informative about the birds, trees, sealife, and the lake in general. Very nicely paced, great little snack and water half-way. Overall, excellent experience... well worth the price!

Nice kayak paddle - It was fun to see some nature and paddle through the mangroves. You don't see much wildlife, just mangroves the whole time. The kayaks were pretty nice, though you do get a little wet, but that felt nice since there's not much shade. The wind and the currents were sometimes a little strong. Our guide was nice and told us some interesting facts and knew some cool paths so we didn't get lost. He also took some photos of us. We paddled at a pretty leisurely pace and could take breaks at any time.

Excellent service and... - Excellent service and super cool experience. GPS problems had us show up 15 minutes late and miss our designated tour, but the team was super helpful and for an extra $20 called in another guide and took the three of us on a private tour that exceeded all expectations. Axel was an amazing guide and was super knowledgeable about the plant and animal life we encountered, and was happy to match the tour to our ability, at one point saying "you guys seem comfortable, want to go somewhere harder?" Definitely got wet so recommend wearing a bathing suit, but the tour was an absolute blast and would recommend to anyone who wants to see this awesome ecosystem up close

Don't go, with these people !!! - If possible to give a more negative rating I would. We tried to cancel due to high winds and the tour operator wouldn't accept our cancellation request, even though it was before the deadline to cancel. When we showed up the next day at the appointed place, there was no signage or tour group there. The launch site seems to be at a local dock and swimming hole, however none of the people swimming there knew about kayak tours. When we inquired about the tour at the hotel, which is 50 yards away, they had no indication of when the people show up. We waited around past the appointed launch time and they never showed. When contacted after wards they were very defensive and confrontational. We are looking at ways to recover our money as we pre booked. It was the only disappointing experience in an otherwise great Mexican vacation.
