Parker Cassidy7 months agoIncredible experience!! I will definitely return next year. My kayak excursion was the highlight of my vacation here. Manu was so helpful in getting us set up and answering my friend's many questions. He even arranged for an English speaking friend to join our excursion to help with communication. He went above and beyond. Manuel was an outstanding guide, tremendously patient, and so very committed to ensuring we had a good experience. The refreshments were absolutely delicious and enjoyed! Thank you so very much. I'll be back!See this review on Google
Gavin Garrity2 years agoAnother great tour with Stefan and his crew. The ocean was perfect and so blue!. A great way to spend a few hours going along the coast line, with a stop to enjoy a delicious fruit bowl, and drinks. Hands down a must do when in LT.See this review on Google
B Rack2 years agoThese guys are AMAZING!!! MANU & MANUEL took us on an amazing excursion through the Mangroves of Coson and then snorkeling in Playa Coson. We had a great fruit bowl and coconut biscuit snack. Manuel caught my 9 yr old how to paddleboard and even climbed a coconut 🥥 tree and got us some fresh coconuts. We will return and spend the day with these guys on a longer excursion when we return to Las Terranas.......See this review on Google
Description
A morning crossing in open water out to the Islas Ballenas, the small islands that give Playa Las Ballenas its name, with time to snorkel once you get there.
You paddle out with a guide by kayak or stand up paddleboard. Snorkelling gear and snacks are carried along.
Unlike Manati's other trips, this one is not listed as suitable for everyone, because it crosses open water rather than following the shore. It leaves in the morning and takes about three hours. Minimum four people for it to go out.

What to Bring
General advice for this kind of trip — confirm the details with the host.
Manati Water Sports is based on Playa Las Ballenas in Las Terrenas, at Beach Club Eden. They rent stand up paddleboards and single or double kayaks by the hour, by the half day or for the full day, and they deliver anywhere in the area for a flat transport fee. They also run five guided paddle trips along the coast: a short one to a hidden beach, a sunset paddle, an open-water crossing to the Islas Ballenas with snorkelling, a combo through river, mangrove and sea, and a longer trip out to the coral reefs and wild beaches. Guided trips take a minimum of four people and include a guide and all the equipment; most of them also include transport and snacks. Private trips run from two people.
