Chad was incredibly personable and highly knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. Take the night kayak tour and you will not regret it.

We booked an evening kayak tour with Chad. He was a terrific guide and the tour was magnificent. We saw a variety of birds coming to roost in the mangroves. Once dark, we used headlamps to see beneath the water's surface: rays, nurse sharks, tiny jellies. Would happily book this tour again.

I had a great time! It was cool to go INTO the mangroves, and see them up close. Sarah was our guide, she was so smart and told us so many fascinating things. They also provided pickup and drop off from our hotel. 10/10 recommend!
