"Wonderful service! Our attendant was very informative about where to go and why, as well as with safety info. I would have really liked a longer paddle (only one size available) and only open style kayaks -not my favorite. Still - recommended!"

"This kayaking is a must have if you ever in St Martin! We loved it soooo much on a first try so that booked a second one the next day again:) The price is amazing for a full day rent, kayaks are well maintained and all the gear is clean and available. The owner offers dry bags for a small additional price which was very convenient, snorkeling gear which work..." Read more

"Très bonne expérience de Kayak pour aller sur l'île Pinel malgré la pluie que nous avons eu pendant notre périple. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et conseillés vis-à-vis de la météo et des conditions de navigation. Idéal pour apercevoir les tortues de la réserve."

"Absolute pleasure using Caribbean Paddling. It was so quick and easy. Highly recommend both the 3 person kayak as well as tandem paddle board. We also rented the reef board for our 6 year old to kick around on over on the island. The paddle over we enjoyed seeing sea turtles, fish and stingray. Pinel Island was an enjoyable day for the entire family!"

"Commerce plein de bons conseils, grande liberté pour voguer en kayak avec pour simple et seule contrainte de rendre l’équipement à 17h. Abordable pour l’expérience que cela représente, bien plus intéressant que prendre le ferry pour se rendre sur l’île."

"We had a great time on our tandem kayak! I loved that Caribbean Paddling company told us where to look for sea turtles, showed us where we could get out and walk the sand bar and just in general where all we could kayak. The price to rent a kayak was very reasonable. Thank you for a great time!"

"Nous avons passé une splendide journée à l’îlet Pinel en canoë avec Caribbean Paddling, c’est beaucoup plus fun que la navette bateau et l’accueil est vraiment très sympa. Petite pause en chemin sur le banc de sable et pour observer les tortues, la ballade est très agréable, nous recommandons vivement et y retournerons."

"What an amazing day! the kayaks seemed brand new and Ozzy and his crew were very helpful. Good price too, you get the kayak for the whole day. Good exercise but also a place to dock and relax at Pinel. Highly recommend :)"

"The place is awesome! We actually had an issue with our Airbnb and needed to check out and check in to another place on the same day we reserved our kayaks with Caribbean Paddling so we needed to change the day last minute and they were very accommodating. Everything was as described- gorgeous scenery, how long it tool to get to Pinel, and more. We would def..." Read more

"What a great trip! We reserved beach chairs on Pinel before we left and had an amazing paddle on the way out, a little windy but still wonderful! Winds cleared by the end of the day and we made sure to visit all the snorkel sites they recommended- saw sea turtles and jellyfish! Absolutely recommend kayaking!"

"This was my first time paddling. Standing up was tricky at first. When you sit it’s much like kayaking. The people helped us and were very polite and patient with us. They drove there just for us at start and end. They were there very quickly. Great experience! Pinel Island is very beautiful with nice places to get a drink. We even saw some iguanas right nex..."

"Lovely staff, and a great area to kayak. I've been to pinel Island a few times and I always get the ferry. After that experience I would totally recommend kayaking to pinel instead, the missus and I saw so many turtles too! It was such a laugh!"

"WOW! What a treasure. This is the best way to spend a day on St. Martin. The owner met us and gave us all the great tips. Basically they set you up with a kayak and life vest - easy peasy- and you paddle off - quick and pretty easy paddle on the way there. The island itself is to die for: Amazing wild life, great beach, great beach restaurant to get a fresh..." Read more

"Our first adventure to Pinel on our 4th trip to the island. This is a must do for everyone. The folks at Caribbean Kayak were outstanding in their support and guidance. The paddle over is an easy one even for us rookie kayakers. Pinel is amazing. Wear footwear and DO the trail hike ... views stunning...even a light island rain shower did not dampen the exper..."

"Awesome experience paddling to and from Pinel Island. Caribbean Paddling was GREAT! Ozzy met us at the dock right on time. He got us set up with nice kayaks, paddles, life jackets, dry bag, etc. and gave us directions on route and sites. Just a super fun time! Very easy and calm, also. He met us on the dock when we returned after four hours at Yellow..." Read more

"This was the second time we came to rent kayaks from Caribbean Paddling and it was fast, easy and friendly service. The owner speaks english and french so there is no communication problems. We saw a few sea turtles between the launch point and pinel island. We read reviews saying that there is sea turtles but we thought it was pure luck but we were surprise..." Read more
