My wife and I did the kayak trip through the mangrove swamp to the north side on March 31 . Our 2 guides shared their knowledge of the mangrove ecosystem with us, showing us the 2 types of mangrove (red and white), pointed out the little tree crabs, and numerous other very interesting plants and animals. On the north side... More

This is a great way to see the island of Utila. We did the mangrove trip to the northside and enjoyed every minute. We learned much about the ecosystem of the island which is very interesting. The northside of the island was incredible in it's beauty and remoteness. The lunch was delicious! We would highly recommend this trip to visitors... More

From start to finish, everything about our experience with Kayak Utila was amazing! Email correspondence to arrange our excursion was friendly and prompt, and the guides even personalized the trip to accommodate our group! Our guide was fantastic, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the area (plants, animals, and history). It was awesome to see the mangroves, and even get to... More

Andi, our guide was brilliant and really added to the magic of the trip with her knowledge of the wildlife and the delicious lunch that she prepared. I... More

My husband and I spent a month in Utila and Kayak Utila was definitely one of the top highlights. Andi knows her stuff when it comes to the island, and answers any questions that you may think of while paddling along to the Cayes. Plus, if you've indulged in a few too many Tequila Sunrises or Rumanades, the trip provides... More

Thanks guys and it really was a pleasure to have you out there! I love hearing from folks that this one of the highlights of their trip to Utila- to be able to show them a little something outside the box and have them love it! Watch those "rumanades"! More

We chose to do the paddle through the mangroves and we are so happy we did. We paddled on a historic corridor through to the other side of the island. Andy was an incredible guide who is passionate about the island. I loved that we learned about island ecology and the importance of the mangroves to the health of the... More

Did the full day trip to the keys, beautiful, stunning ocean views and beautiful beachs! The keys were very interesting. Only advice I would give if your with your partner and not very skilled at paddling, get your own kayak and don't try the double kayak, better for your realtionship! Also Andi was great and informative! More
