Overview

This two hour thirty minute outing from Vale's Rambo Adventures combines paddling and snorkeling at Mangel Halto, near Savaneta. You meet your guide at the Mangel Halto Beach launch point in Pos Chiquito, fifteen minutes before departure, and the guide waits there with the colorful ocean kayaks and snorkel gear. The tour then runs through two stops, Mangel Halto Beach and Pos Chiquito, with about forty five minutes at each, and finishes back where it started.

The guide leads the kayaking and the snorkeling, speaks English, Spanish and Papiamento, and gear is provided: ocean kayak, paddles, life jacket, snorkel set, and fins in all sizes including children's sizes. Bottled water and local fruit are handed out along the way. Admission at both stops is free, so there is no entry fee to budget for.

The group is capped at fifteen travellers, and a moderate level of physical fitness is expected. The listing cautions against booking for those with back problems, heart conditions, or pregnancy, and the activity is not wheelchair accessible. Hotel pickup is not part of the package, so you make your own way to the beach sign at Savaneta. One reviewer described the trip as a genuine adventure on the kayak with excellent snorkeling and a guide who knew a lot about the island and the coral.
