Kayaking in Grand Cayman

[marshmeloh]

Hey all,

Has anyone done any Kayaking tours through the Mangroves? I've been searching and found 3 different companies but only piece meal information on each. Some have reviews, some don't. Some have prices, some don't. Some have transportation, some I'm not sure about.

If you've done one of these:

What company did you do it through?
How did you like it?
How did you get back and forth from the port?

Thanks so much everyone!

I went on a kayak tour when family visited. Tour was run by Cayman Kayaks and departed from the area of Kaibo Yacht Club (near Rum Point and a L-O-N-G way from the port area). Nice tour, though I ended up doing all the paddling since mom couldn't get herself coordinated.

I am not sure there are enough mangroves remaining on the west side (closer to the port) of the island to justify running a tour there.

I don't know of other companies running a mangrove kayak tour. If they are advertising to cruise ship tourists they would seriously need to provide transportation as it is a 45 minute drive from the port.

Thanks, Drew! I was afraid it was that far! Hmmm maybe time to re-evaluate that plan! Thanks for the info!
