Unique and exciting family fun

This was such a unique experience that I’ve been wanting to do for years, and our last activity before leaving the island to go back home. Shirvel, our guide, went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time kayaking. She took several pictures, took her time trying to find starfish and gave clear directions on what to do. She was kind and patient with us as well. We ended up seeing a few starfish, a sea turtle and sting ray. Our eight year old daughter came with us and she enjoyed the glow necklaces/bracelets and face paint.

A Nightly Must Activity!!!

Wow, what a magical time! We went for our Honeymoon. Two feet outside our resort stay at the Elysian. Friendly people, helpful staff and the coolest night kayak experiance! We say sea urchins, tropical fish, tarpin and even a sea turtle! I recommend doing this tour with a new/no moon, but anytime is a good time. Thank you to Bernard and his lady counterpart for making it an experiance we will never forget! The complimentary rum punch drinks at the end really pushed the experiance over the edge at the end. Cheers!!!

Fun evening activity

This was a fun experience. One of my friend’s boat lights went out and the guide was able to problem solve efficiently. Additionally another guest’s phone fell in the water and our guide was able to retrieve it and refocus with the rest of the group in a timely manner. I enjoyed the stories and tips of where to look for different sea life. We saw a lot of terrapin, some sea stars, and needle fish.

Enjoyable evening on the water with tarpon, starfish, and Ray sightings.

Chevelle was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. She found starfish, tarpon, and an eagle ray. Loved being on the water at night.
