“We tried most of the popular excursions and this was our favorite one. These guys are super friendly and put a lot of effort into making you feel safe regardless of experience and fitness level. The glass kayaks are incredible; you get to see and interact with the wildlife a lot with a great view of the water beneath you. The guides put a lot of effort into giving you chances to hold and touch stuff like starfish and jellyfish.”
