Perfect first kayak experience for the family
We had a great first-time kayaking experience thanks to the friendly, helpful staff who made us feel safe the whole time. One child loved kayaking, while the other enjoyed spotting fish, so it was a win-win for our family. Thanks for a really relaxing and enjoyable experience!

Money well spent
Not just fun for children, it’s totally different when you see fishes swam under, as a adult I’m fascinated by it too.

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.

fine
Tour guides were lovely. Couldn’t really see through the kayaks, found myself peering over the sides a bit more.
