Once in a lifetime trip and John is what made it so good!! He was very knowledgeable and super fun the entire time!! We saw some incredible whales, turtles, flying fish, butterflies, rare birds, and a variety of fish when we snorkeled. Super memorable experience! We’d definitely book John again!!
We were a group of 3: my husband, myself and a friend of Jake, our guide. To start, we were denied the chance to have two kayaks and instead had to get on a double, even though Jake's truck had plenty of kayaks. On arrival, Jake greeted us with a handshake! in the middle of a pandemic. I didn't even have a chance to react when he was already shaking hands with me. He denied me the chance to bring my phone to take photos, even when he had a dry bag to hold it, where he had room for my glasses case, but would not carry my cellphone. Instead he offered to sell me a $65 set of photos, whales included. We got on the kayaks, and Jake's friend was afraid of everything: the kayak, the snorkeling, etc, so we went not very far offshore, not even close to a possibility of seeing whales nearby. We snorkeled at a single spot, where we saw one turtle and few scattered gray fish, and got back to shore. Meantime, Jake said something about the whales call underwater, but I was 12 feet away and didn't
Would recommend doing the morning kayak, jake was our guide and was awesome and a great guide! We saw whales and during our snorkel we got to see some turtles! We were first time snorkels and jake was awesome with giving us tips and helping us understand snorkeling!
Had a great time on our kayaking adventure. We saw too many whales to count. Some were breaching and some swimming along with their mama. Saw manaray, turtles and many tropical fish. The most difficult part of the trip was getting back in the kayak after we snorkeled, but I did it. I’m a grandma so the younger ones probably wouldn’t have a problem with this.
There was high surf on the day we were initially supposed to go kayaking, but the staff was very flexible and rescheduled us for another day. We went kayaking with Matt Hudson, and we had a private tour since no one else signed up for that same day (we went during the off season). Again, I appreciated that the company was flexible didn't cancel our tour. There were only 2 of us. Matt was a great guide. We are new to kayaking, and he was very helpful. We also purchased the pictures. Along with our pictures from that day, Matt also included his best pictures ever. Those were a lot of fun to see, too.
