DO it! SO enjoyable! - Alex was TERRIFIC! He made contact prior to arrival to confirm our location. Met us right off the ship. His enthusiasm for the island and nature was incredible. We drove 20 minutes to a secluded beach where we were issued high quality equipment. He lead us through a bay and some mangroves while entertaining us with his knowledge. It was the perfect excursion to escape the hustle of the port. On the return trip he drove us to some scenic photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend this activity!

Best ever. - INCREDIBLE! Easily the best excursion I have been on in the Caribbean. Guide (Alex) is extremely knowledgeable and the waters inside of the mangroves were pristine and calm. Highly recommend if you have never done kayaking or if you do it every day. Exceeded all expectations.

Awesome, education and exercise experience - Great way to learn about the Island mangroves ( salty brown leaves), numerous sea creatures, coral and Halimeda (fascinating). We explored areas that we would have never seen without our amazing guide. Easy access from the cruise port terminal and overall a 5 star experience.

Kayaking in the Mangroves - What an experience from start to finish! We went on the kayak tour with Alex. He was so friendly, informative, interesting and knowledgeable about the local area and it’s environment. It’s one of the best trips we’ve had and we would 100% recommend this as one of the “must do” things to do in Tortola. Thank you Alex for a great day out. 👍 Matt and Sarah
