Newbies to snorkeling and kayaking, my husband and I wanted a smaller, more personalized experience. Co-owner/captain Carla was wonderful, patiently instructing, sharing local knowledge of the area and its fauna, and pointing out abundant fish, sea turtles, and lobster in the teeming flats and birds nesting on the mangrove island we explored. The perfect size for three couples and a... More

My wife and I went on the Eco-Tour with Java Cat and had a wonderful time. This is a relatively small sailing catamaran that carries only six passengers, so you are guaranteed to get personalized attention. Co-owner Carla showed us a great time and was very helpful explaining how to handle a kayak. She gave us a guided tour around... More

My husband and I booked a trip with Java Cat and we had the best time! Our boat captian, John, was very knowledgable about the local flora and fauna. We sailed out to the mangroves and kayaked around the island and even had an eagle land on a branch right near us. We saw spiney lobster, eel and a ton... More

This was just the trip we were looming for. 6 people on a catamaran for a nice sail, mangrove kayak and snorkel. It was windy and low tide but still saw some great wildlife, rare birds, pink flamingo was a rare treat. Saw small sting ray, lobster and dozens if reef fish along the barrel sponge. Capt. John was fantastic... More

We are a family of five that went kayaking and snorkling eith Java Cat. We had a really fun time and the captain Jaja was wonderful. They served a light meal and after snorkling it tasted wonderful. If you are looking for a relaxing day this is the perfect way to spend it.

My wife and 74 year old mother and I spent about 4 hours on this trip and had a great time. From being picked up at our hotel by George to Paddling around in mostly calm shallow (4 feet deep) water to learning about the mangroves we had a great time. The water was shallow enough to see the creatures/sharks/jelly... More

If you have had the pleasure of visiting the island then you would know that boat charters are everywhere. Almost all are overpriced, crowded, and underperforming. I am happy to report that the Java Cat Eco Tours was anything but. Our first trip we opted for a half day kayak and snorkeling tour a small mangrove island about 4 miles... More

A guided kayak tour around Mule Key - exploring & learning about the inhabitants & the vegetation. Snorkeling & a light meal - truly a perfect day. This catamaran takes 6 people on this adventure & all i can say is just go!
