For the price, this was a GREAT excursion. They picked us up at our hotel, brought us to the mangroves, set us up, guided us through a 2 hour kayak hike through amazing views. The guide stopped over and over to point things out to us, show us sea creatures, point out birds, and give us information and history. The... More

This is the way to see and learn about the mangroves. We tried to book before we got there but they would not pick us up as we were on the cruise ship. When we docked we found a local tour operator (momentum) and he booked the tour for us for the same price we would have paid the kayak... More

My wife and I went with my sister and brother-in-law to the 2-hr kayak adventure thru the mangroves. We saw lots of interesting things in the very shallow water including a rare octopus, sea-cucumbers, upside-down jellyfish, one conch, many birds and a few large iquanas. We had a double kayak and my sister & BiL had individual kayaks. We had... More

The staff at Lazy Dog was friendly & super-helpful, even giving last minute directions when we made a touristy wrong turn trying to get there. They handle big group tours and couples (us!) simultaneously with ease. Rent kayaks and/or stand-up paddleboards, and they'll give good tips and directions to those on their own. They have cute "product" to buy at... More

We decided not to take the tour, but just rent boards for 2 hours and explore on our own. None of us had ever done this before, so we were concerned about whether we would be able get the hang of it. We enjoy kayaking, so we had that as our backup plan. It was very easy to learn and... More

See comments by fyrftrlarry (sherwood)...we went with him. The driver was as he described....RUDE (lots of information but she had to stick to her script-no questions as you would just "forget" and she would have to repeat later-wow). Bethany/Brittany (sorry I forgot her name) and her dog MrT (Tucker?) were great. She was very safety conscious and knowledgeable. She found... More

We really enjoyed kayaking in the backwaters near Hurricane Hole. It was a fun two hour outing and we learned a lot lot about the local vegetation and animal life in the area. The backwaters are shallow and calm and kayaking thru the mangroves was fun. Reasonably priced too. More

I only rented some kayaks, but they were very friendly and the prices are very reasonable. They have an informative website and answer whatever questions. Make sure to ask when you are supposed to return the kayaks though as they never told us and then were kind of angry that we were late. It was Christmas day, but I honestly... More

My wife and I and three kids went kayaking here. At this time of the year we didn't feel like we needed to bring or wear sunscreen but at other times, it might be necessary. The naturist that was guiding our tour told us a few things to keep in mind and how to maneuvor our kayaks. You were able... More

Took a 2-hr. guided kayak trip with my wife with Lazy Dog the week before Christmas. Overall I was a little disappointed, especially considering the many excellent reviews I had read. First the good: staff at the desk seemed very nice and friendly. Equipment seemed good and the price was very fair ($35pp). The marina is easily accessible and has... More
