Amazing kayak experience - Had the pleasure of Mikey as our guide. What an amazing experience. Not only did we see turtles, sharks and the wildlife of the mangroves but we had the pleasure of all the knowledge that Mikey had on the tour. His passion and love for the environment was overwhelming. Can’t thank him enough.

Fantastic four hours in mangrove - The tour was excellent. A small group of just 5 people, very nice and experienced tour guide Emily. We saw a lot of turtles, barracudas (small) and iguanas.

Great educational tour! - We did the two-hour tour with G as our guide. She was professional, friendly, and a good teacher. We saw some young lemon sharks, turtles, and fish while learning about the mangrove ecosystem and its importance. Highly recommended!

Fantastic kayak tour - Bailey led a great tour! It was nice to learn a little about the geography and history of the islands and about the ecology of the mangroves and the iguanas first hand. The water here is beautiful and the kayaking is smooth and relatively easy. Highly recommend.

Great kayak trip. So pleased! - Drei and Janey were wonderful guides for our four hour trip through the mangroves and islands. I was especially impressed that this company has hired marine biologists to help as the tour guides. It added so much to the experience. Kayaks were sound and solid, not like the clear bath tubs we saw other groups using. The guides were super friendly and accommodating and made for a great trip. We used the same group for our snorkel trip and were not disappointed.

Best part of our trip! - We did the 4 hour Kayak Eco tour with the Big Blue Collective. Emily and Kevin were our guides and it was an amazing experience! They were both very passionate about the island and the area. They had tremendous knowledge of nature, the plants, and all the wildlife we saw. They specialize in small groups and eco friendly. They brought water and snacks for us and walked us through how to kayak and were great with everyone. I can't recommend it enough.

We'll be back! - We actually just did self-guided kayaking. The check-in phase was straightforward, all of the staff were so very friendly and helpful. Guidance was spot-on, and equipment all worked great. It happened to be an incredibly busy day for kayak tours (a Thursday in mid-March), so it was actually crowded in the mangrove areas, but there was plenty of space outside of there to explore. Lovely trip through a great outfitter!

Kayaking Done Right - Kayaking here in the mangroves is a treat with all of the green turtles and other marine life. Our guide was a knowledgeable and responsible biologist with plenty of information to share regarding the local environment. This company emphasizes respect and education of the marine life and fauna which was commendable. My only complaint would be that at times there were so many kayaks around us that it felt like a highway, however they did their best to keep us out of the traffic, and this was not something that they could control.
