We booked the mangrove and bioluminescent tours with Cayman Kayaks. Tom leads the passage through the mangroves at a very pleasant leisurely pace through the beautiful canopies pointing out marine wildlife and reptiles. His explanations of the ecosystem and symbiotic relationships were informative and interesting. If you book both tours as we did though, take this tour first. The bioluminescent... More

There were several aspects of the tour that made it an enjoyable experience for my wife and I. First the drive to the site. Having never driven on the wrong side of the road (those crazy Brits), I felt like Clark Griswald in National Lampoon's "Eiropean Vacation.' The drive was challenging, but also a wondeful way to see the Island.... More

I absolutely loved the morning Mangrove tour with Tom! My husband and two daughters (ages 7 and 8) all agreed that this was the best thing we did on Grand Cayman!! The hidden waterways underneath the Mangrove canopies were beautiful and fantastic to explore! Tom was a fantastic guide who made the tour fun and interesting. It was a breeze... More

My husband wanted to kayak while we were in Grand Cayman, so we booked a tour with Cayman Kayaks. Tom was an absolute joy to kayak with. He genuinely enjoys what he does and is always willing to adjust to his audience, answer questions and give you an education on the ecosystem there. Our group was diverse in both background,... More

We chose the evening tour to the Bioluminescent Bay near Rum Point. Kayaking into the bay from Rum Point took about twenty minutes, and was a bit of work in the wind, so this is not for people who aren't reasinably comfortable in a kayak. The bioluminescence like this occurs in only a dozen places in the world. We were... More

While it was a cool experience I don't think it was worth 60 bucks per person. More

We had fun on the tour.. Although booking with Tom can be a little bit chaotic! We arrived early for the 8.20 tour last thursday.. There was a drama as 2 kayaks from the previous tour (inc a guide) were missing in action!! They were found safe and sound (but not before the police helicopter had been deployed!!) and it... More

We were really looking forward to this and spent the day a Rum Point (drive from 7 mile Beach) since we were meeting Tom at 6:10. He told us to meet in the Rum Point parking lot so we parked near the sign so we could see cars coming & going. Unfortunately, no one came and at 6:30 we sent... More

The kayak tour was by far the most exciting thing we had done on the island. Being one the few places in the world you can go to experience this amazing piece of nature, Tom makes the tour very interesting and informative . More

This was by far our favorite experience in Grand Cayman! After a short kayak ride through the bay you begin to see the shimmer in the water as you paddle. I can only compare it to the shimmer effect like in the movie Avatar. Every time you touch the water there are tiny explosions of light all around your hands.... More
