Ask for Miracle - Our host, Miracle, was very informative and fun to have this experience with. The sight was beautiful, we held a jellyfish, and spotted a lemon shark. Plus several other fishes. Beware, The driver taking us to the excursion drove extremely fast and pulled some crazy stunts but overall the mangrove experience was great.

Great day trip - Jean was our guide and we had a great time. We saw so many sea turtles and iguanas. We got to see the conch and hold them. It was a great trip. Transportation included was an absolutely plus!!!

Perfect time - My partner and I had a really good time. We went when th tide was really low. We got picked up from the hotel to the leeward marina. From there we got onto a clear glass boat and easy towed to the mangrove area. We then paddle from there around the mangrove. Saw sharks and turtles. We even visited iguana Island where I saw rock iguanas. It was nice. I ventured off a bit on our own a bit but not so far, only because we had done it before so we knew what to expect but it was really good.

Great experience - Our guide Cheese was great. Very informative and friendly. He tried his best to ensure we saw a variety of wildlife and was very generous with his time. Even went out of his way to capture photos of me on the kayak.

Great Clear Kayaking Experience - We had a great time! This was perfect for us as they offered pickup/drop-off. Tour was very informative and our tour guide made sure everyone in the group was doing well throughout the tour. My friend left her phone in the car and the tour guide offered his phone to her for photos. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking to do a clear kayaking experience in the mangrove!

Overall amazing experience - The amazing positives! 1. They split you into small groups of 3, so you get some quite time and really get to see the animals 2. You see a ton of turtles, stingrays and birds 3. Our guide was the BEST! Negative 1. the driver they hired didn't show up in time- but they did figure it out and send one. 2. the driver they hired didn't come to pick us up --- drive or get a taxi there yourself :)

Had fun - The excursion itself was fun, tour guide was knowledgeable and patient as we had one lady who couldn’t even kayak , and another who decided to bring her small child and kept getting left behind which impacted the experience for the rest of us as my group had to catch up with another tour guide ( who was able to show more things and was able to actually be a tour guide bc he didn’t have to baby sit ) , the children also wouldn’t stop talking while tour guide was trying to explain things , there is a long kayak trip out to the mangroves, excursion isn’t really meant for children or for those who can not kayak properly.
