Exploring the Mangroves with Alex - Kayaking Mangrove Lagoons sounded wonderful and it was… but it was so much more than just beautiful views! Alex, our tour guide, was born and raised here and his passion for sharing the importance of these significant alcoves is infectious ! From the upside down jellyfish and lemon sharks to the red, white, and black mangrove trees that protect the coastlines and provide a nursery for the young sea life not yet ready for wide open waters are just a snippet of the wonder we were exposed to! We are forever fortunate to have gotten to spend the day exploring, learning about and loving on the BVIs often overlooked but most important hidden gems! Thank you for sharing that slice of paradise with us!

Amazing Paddle in the Mangroves - We had a wonderful morning learning all about the mangroves and the creatures that call it home. Alex was a wonderful guide and had so much knowledge to share about this special habitat. It is a place we never would have been if we didn’t do this. 100% would recommend.

Fabulous Day - We had such a great time on this tour! Alex is fabulous and obviously has a great passion for the mangrove forests. We learned so much about these plants and their importance and even got to help spread seeds to an area that had been beaten down by past hurricanes. It was a GREAT day and I cannot recommend Alex and this tour highly enough!!!

Fun learning experience for me and my teen! - What an amazing experience! We've always wanted to see the mangroves that serve as a nursery to so many marine life. Alex was an amazing guide, passionate about the mangroves and their importance. If you live being in nature and learning about important ecosystems, check it out! You won't be sorry. I'm pretty out of shape with a bigger body and didn't have any trouble really. Hardest part was getting in and out of the kayak.

Excellent excursion - Very fun excursion off a cruise ship. We were on 1:30 tour and made it back to port in plenty of time. Alex was amazing. He clearly loves this natural wonder. We hit low tide, but he still got us through which made it that more memorable. I actually got to walk some of the mangroves. If you are active, don’t miss it!
