"Caribbean Paddling was great. They got us set up right away & gave us very clear directions (don’t go beyond the rocks)! Definitely would book with Ozzy again. We saw so many sea turtles & sting rays on our kayaking trip to Pinel & then spent the day at yellow beach soaking up the sun. Highly recommend!"

"Despite a few hiccups & heated discussions following our first failed attempt at renting kayaks, we successfully rented a tandem one today and had a great day paddling around & chilling on Pinel Island. As we've learnt, booking your kayak in advance is advised, even though it makes it harder to get it on a sunny day with no wind. Show up early-ish if you do..." Read more

"Helpful and friendly young man who got us prepped and ready. On time to start and reliably there on return. He warned us of hazards by reefs and where to tie up at sandbars. He was thorough. The kayaks, paddles, are in good condition. Reasonable price."

"I can not say enough good things about Ozzy and his team at Caribbean Paddling. Pickup at the cruise terminal by Joyce was perfect and once we arrived at the dock, we were equipped with kayaks, life preservers and dry bags and set off right away. The paddle over to the sand bar, snorkeling area and Pinel Island was beautiful and easy. We enjoyed some time on..." Read more

"Enzo was very nice and provided a great introduction to Pinel Isle - beautiful day - there isn’t a sea turtle or sting ray for hundreds of miles but the search is worthwhile"

"Très belle balade avec ma fille de 10 ans, en prennant le temps de faire des pauses pour nager. Retour tranquille avec ma femme (fille sur le bateau) en observant une tête de tortue 🐢"

"Highly recommended! Great experience when you're on the island. Fast communication, we decided the morning itself we wanted to go later. This was no problem, fast response by email. We rented two kayaks and two snorkeling sets. We snorkeled by Pinel Island and saw three sea turtles, rays and beautiful fish."

"We got an explanation at the start about where we could paddle to and see the sandbank, the rif, and maybe turtles and stingrays. The kayaks worked great and we also made use of their Dry Bags which you will definitely need! All in all a great way to go to Pinel! Way more fun than taking the ferry."

"Definitely a must when you visit. We rented a kayak for the day to travel to Pinel Island. Ozzy was great. Got you set up and in the water quickly. He also gave some great tips on navigating to the island and sights along the way."

"We rented a tandem kayak as walk ups to kayak over to Pinel and the smaller island. We were on our way pretty quickly and Ozzy pointed out where we should look while snorkeling. We saw one turtle and a couple stingrays, then had a few beers in the water. Reasonable prices and everything we needed."
