Windy day turned fabulous trip! - The winds were terrible, so my family thought the kayaking trip would be canceled. Mell and Max were our guides as we started out across the bay. While the kayaking was rough with all the wind, we encountered another issue: the oil rig that was usually further off coast, had moved closer to the shore and cut off safe passage for us to access the Tugboat Wreck. We beached the kayaks and Mell called his boss, who picked us up in a skiff and carried us to the spot we needed to be in for the snorkeling. The wind carried us to the Tugboat Wreck, which was covered in tons of beautiful fish, and then to the beach where our kayaks were beached and waiting for us. It turned out to be an excellent adventure and unforgettable underwater photos of the marine life.

Not sure if the life... - Not sure if the life vests were cleaned between each use. Guides were great. Not great communication on how much the cab was from the port to the destination.

Great experience thanks to Jasper! - The kayak and snorkel tour was perfectly guided by Jasper, the kayaking was quite easy as an inexperienced person and snorkel glasses and a bottle of water were neatly provided at the beach where you can also see the sunken tugboat, my mother and I really enjoyed it together (49 /24y)

Great snorkeling spot - We had a Saturday morning trip with Teas and it was a lot of fun. A quick paddle across the bay to a really cool snorkel spot. Teas was very friendly and we had a great time

Nice tour, wonderful snorkeling, great guidance - Ties was very attentive and helped us with capsizing the kayak. Snorkeling at the sunken boat was very beautiful. Bring cash for a drink.

Kayak and Snorkel - This is a small business that rents jet-skis and other watersports equipment. It was just us and a guide on a very windy day. First 15 min was hard work as we paddled against the wind to get to more sheltered water - just be advised if you are not in decent shape and it is a rough day. Snorkeling was off of a rocky beach to a sunken tugboat. Very close to a site that had an oil rig and drilling ship moored for repairs. Location was sheltered enough so that the snorkeling was easy. Tour operator does not provide fins (you can get to/from the tugboat without fins, but if you have your own you should bring them). Plenty of time to snorkel as much as we wanted. Great guide, very helpful and didn't rush us. They picked us up but paid for a taxi to take us back to the cruise ship pier. Had a hard time getting in touch with the business to confirm transportation - they didn't respond to emails until the morning of the tour.

Good spot to snorkel - more details should be provided - Great snorkeling spot if you can get to it! We went on a day with very strong waves and winds - about 45 minutes kayaking against the waves and winds to get to the spot. Once we got there, it was very difficult to get out of the kayak with the waves and the beach was full of rocks. We did not have the proper shoes for this and were not given enough details to adequately prepare. Definitely for advanced kayakers.

Many minuses, a couple of pluses. - Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience. 1. The tour didn't start until an hour and fifteen minutes after the supposed starting time. Nobody came to explain or apologize. When I asked (after 45 minutes' wait), I was told that they were "short-staffed". No apology or and ETA given. 2. The guide was uncommunicative - gave us very rough instructions and then rowed ahead without checking whether we were following or whether we were doing OK. 3. The guide told us "20 minutes' rowing". It was 40 minutes and quite rough. The water was choppy and we had to row very close to some snorkelers - didn't seem safe to us. 4. Once we reached the snorkeling site, the waves were quite strong so as I was trying to get off the kayak, the waves threw the kayak into me so I fell onto the pebble beach. The guide just watched - some people on the beach came to my help. 5. The guide handed us the goggles and snorkels - no flippers - and pointed us in the direction of a boat wreck. Then he lay down in his kayak and turned his phone on. He offered no assistance and he didn't take us out there himself. 6. The swim was not easy and once I reached the destination, the wreck was just a few pieces of the boat bottom. The sea was murky from the choppy waves, so there was not a lot to see. The swim back was even more difficult. 7. We told the guide we did not want to kayak back - we were exhausted - and he arranged, very quickly, for us to be picked up. Plus for that :) 8. When we got back, another member of staff listened very carefully to what we had to say, wrote everything down and promised to look into it. He apologized profusely and was very professional. Plus for that :) What they need to do (and I hope they do as they seem to have some professional staff) is to warn people of the difficulty level, recommend wet shoes and flippers (or provide them) and, of course, make sure the guide is attentive and safety-minded. Also, in choppy seas, the tour should be cancelled and something else offered (or a refund) as the kayaking is difficult and there isn't much to see in the snorkeling part.

Avoid - Industrial rather than Caribbean paradise! Faeces on uninspiring beach & jellyfish. Awful experience.
