Birds, shells, and a dolphin 🐬🐚☀️ - We loved kayaking and watching the birds do their thing. The water was calm, weather was perfect, and the beach had some great seashells left. The 10 y/o had a blast in the waves. For the finale we got to see a dolphin hunting fish around the docks! So cool!

Awesome experience! - My husband and i visited Sanibel Island for our 10 year wedding anniversary. While there we looked for a guided kayak tour and found Joey. Easy experience from start to finish. Found him easily. He texted me the morning of to make sure we knew where we going. We went through these really cool man groves, saw a dolphin, and then went to a small beach with the clearest most beautiful water Ive seen so far here. Also got to shell. It was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip! We will definitely be back!

Great time on the water - We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Even though We didn’t see much wildlife except for birds, we were not disappointed to just be on the water on a beautiful day. Joey was a great guide. I would definitely recommend.

Fun Family Kayaking - We had a fantastic experience on our kayak tour. It was the perfect outing for my wife, our six-year-old son, and myself. Joey, our guide, was exceptional in navigating us through the breathtaking mangroves and pointing out the diverse shore birds. Collecting seashells was an enjoyable bonus that added to our memorable adventure. Highly recommend this tour for families looking to explore nature’s beauty!
