Sunrise delivers exactly what kayakers want: hassle-free rentals, clean equipment, and incredible wildlife spotting in the mangroves. The owner and staff, particularly Charles and Jonathan, consistently earn praise for being friendly, knowledgeable, and going the extra mile to help visitors.

Regulars keep coming back, with some on their third or fourth visit, which speaks volumes about the experience.
