Overview

I’ll give you a brief introduction on the basics of paddleboarding and kayaking before we head out onto the water to explore a lush mangrove jungle. As we wind our way through narrow canals, we’ll be on the lookout for all different types of wildlife including; manatees, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, raccoons even possibly dolphins. We’ll explore the natural wonders of the area for a couple hours before making our way into so mangrove tunnels where we will relax, swim and enjoy a delicious fresh fruit snack and drinks . Including; watermelon, cantaloupe, banana. Drinks included and totally free all you can drink; beer, hard seltzers and water. After we are all full and everyone is ready to go we will head back to shore. There is never a rush for time. Please keep in mind the manatees and dolphins we are spotting are wild animals roaming a large area. They are seen less often in the summer months. Don't worry there will still be many beautiful plants and animals to see and learn about.

    The worst tour experience you can ever have in your life with an infant. They just need your money. They don’t care what is the weather, they will take you to the ocean with a life jacket on even if you have an infant. We called them before the tour, they confirmed the safety to us with the baby and as mentioned the website it is a beginner kayak so they will move with the speed of the slowest one in the group. On the day of the tour, we saw all their colors. They did the tour even though Miami was very windy on that day. Initially, our boat turned around with the baby. We managed to get back and restart the tour. After rstarting, we were moving slowly and our coach left us. She was the only one there helping everyone to get back to their kayak as everyone was turning around because of the weather. We were left in the middle of the ocean with no one around us, asking for help to rescue us from here. Because of the winds and strong waves are boat turned to the opposite direction from where others were going along with few whales around us. We somehow managed to land to an unknown lagoon island where we called Aaron the tour operator who didn’t pick our call as usual. Finally, called La Vacanza Travel and asked them for immediate rescue and help who then called the tour operator. Finally, after one hour of suffering and help, our coach arrived and then after another 1 hour, Aaron came with the boat to rescue us and others who were stuck because of the bad weather. There were no signs of sorry from Aaron except from our coach who confirmed 100%refund but now they are lying and refusing that as well. Even, La Vacanza Travel has our call recording which can proof that. If you care for your life and money, don’t book this local tour operator. Booking tour ia equal to going to kayk in an ocean by yourself with a life jacket on. It is waste of money. DONOT BOOK THIS TOUR OPERATOR- NO RESPECT FOR LIFE

    Our guide, Tosh, was very friendly knowledgeable, and helpful. We enjoyed the views from our kayak and islands. We booked a 2pm tour and it happened to be a windy day, so that made paddling a little more challenging. I recommend bringing a towel and change of clothes. Everyone in our group was soaked. Also, be sure to bring shoes of some sort. Islands are very rocky. They have small lockers to store your personal items. Another thing, if you booked this tour based on review images (animal encounters), lower your expectations. Our tour guide did his best and still made our time enjoyable. It’s not his fault, wildlife is unpredictable, I get it, I just didn’t have that mindset going into it. I wish I did, so I didn’t feel so disappointed. We saw lots of birds, several conches and even hermit crabs. We got great photos of the city skyline!
