I’m surprised this experience had such good reviews - maybe a different instructor. For the price, our instruction German was not as good of a guide as we have experienced everywhere else in Cartagena. He would just give us things to put on, showed us briefly the pedals and then put us each in the water. My friends had never kayaked and were not confident. One of them immediately flipped over. The description had said it was a good choice for beginners.
Instructor’s kayak was quite far from us the whole time and he was on his phone. The only time he’d talk to us was to tell us to stop or turn around half way.
He did bring us water but that was all.
The sunset wasn’t going to happen until after our slot time ended so the instructor asked if we wanted to cut it 20min short. We did because the last part was uneventful.
I would look elsewhere.
