Guides such as Joe, Jon, and Romeo point out turtles, baby lemon sharks, conch, stingrays, jellyfish, fish, and birds. The water is shallow, the boats are clear, and early tours can offer calmer conditions and fewer people.
“The Mangrove water was only 1-3 feet deep. We kept getting stuck in the sand, not only us, our whole group did. No point in having a clear bottom kayak if all you see is sand. Also our kayak had a patch that leaked and we had 2" of water in it within 5 minutes. Not enough to see. Saw small turtle swimming by another picked up a conch and let us all hold it”
