Kayaking at its finest

It was a good experience. We saw snappers. We spent 90 minutes exploring the water and kayaking.

Clear Kayaks Goat Island

It was an amazing experience with a good guide person who instructed us what to do as beginner kayakers. Would highly recommend.

Ms

Kayaking felt great, but I didn’t see many fish—only three in an hour.

Great experience

Kayaks were heaps of fun. Gorgeous spot for kayaking. Didn't see a heap of fish due to conditions, but highly recommend either way.

Good!

The staff were friendly. Unfortunately, the day we visited was overcast and cloudy, and we weren’t able to see any fish—either through the glass boat or from the sides. This wasn’t the fault of the team; it just happened to be one of those days. I’m not sure the $150 for a one-hour session is justifiable, especially with an additional $9 charge for a wet bag for your cellphone. Most other places provide these bags free of charge as a courtesy. That said, it was still nice to paddle around for an hour. I wouldn’t call it amazing, but it was okay.
