    Joshua, Sam and the third guy (sorry forgot to jot your name down, but he was from North Dakota)…read morewere amazing guides for our group! We had a few no shows, so it was a small group that headed out to Captain Cooks. The kayak portion itself is not difficult as long as you have kayaked before. The trip over took about 20mins and was not super strenuous. Getting into and out of the kayaks from the loading dock was more challenging than the trip itself, but the guides talked us through and helped us in and out of the kayaks. I would say if you have not kayaked or if you have any physical limitations this may not be the excursion for you as there is not a convenient loading/unloading shore so you end up dropping into and climbing out of the kayaks while they are still on the water. The guides did an amazing job at tethering us and helping us in and out but I would say it would be a bit intense for first time kayakers. Over at captain cooks, the snorkeling was amazing! They provide you fins, mask and life vest (optional) and then we had an hour to snorkel about. I highly recommend taking the early kayak tour as when we got to the monument there were only a handful of people so we could swim about really not come close to others, but by the time we left there were multiple boats of snorkelers that had come in and it gets busy in the water. There were so many vibrant fish, and the reef is gorgeous. I didnt want to leave the water. After snorkeling Joshua had a few bags of chips and some water for us and then we packed up and kayaked back to the loading area. Overall it was an amazing experience!

    Joshua was a great guide for our kayak and snorkel tour to the Captain Cook monument! This was a…read morevery cool experience and a great spot to snorkel! Very worthwhile. It's a great spot to see lots of fish and we even saw a turtle which Joshua said was not common for that spot! The water is very clear! I do think helps to how to kayak and be prepared for a potentially strenuous journey. It doesn't take long but especially after snorkeling/swimming for an hour, the trip back was hard! They provide life jackets and you can wear it while snorkeling. My husband did because that makes him feel more comfortable in the water.
