Clear water - Mac was a great tour guide. Beautiful views and pretty clear water. We didn’t see many animals, but the landscape 100% made it worth it.

Loved it - Very fun! They gave us great fun facts along the way. We didn't see manatees or dolphins, but did spot sting rays and fish. The paddle boards were very fun

Best adventure of our trip! - Excellent adventure and Mac was the BEST GUIDE! He was super informative about the terrain, the water, the vegetation, the wildlife. We had a blast. it was our first time paddleboarding and he was incredibly patient and he accommodated our strengths and our weaknesses and our safety was top of mind, even though there were quite a few boats out on the water. And the extra trip to the beach to pick shells was a bonus!

No Dolphins, No Problem – Just Pure Fun! - We had an amazing time on our paddle board tour! Even though we didn’t get to see any manatees or dolphins this time, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Eric was an outstanding guide—incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He made everyone feel comfortable on the boards, no matter their experience level, and kept the energy positive and fun the entire time. It was a beautiful day out on the water, the sun was shining, and it was such a great way to spend time with friends and meet new people. Highly recommend this tour—especially if Eric’s your instructor!

Incredible experience - My boyfriend and I had decided to participate in the manatee and dolphin tour in June. It was an incredible experience. Our tour guide Eric was very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, we didn't see a manatee however, we did see a dolphin. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we are grateful to have been able to go on the tour.

Great tour guide and views - Eric did a great job guiding the group considering the various experience and skills levels. He shared his knowledge of the area and wildlife at different checkpoints which offered a nice break here and there. The views were beautiful and the water was so peaceful.

Would definitely re-book this - Unfortunately, we only got about 20 minutes into our tour, before we had to turn back due to lightening and rain. We were unable to complete the tour that day, and could not re-book because we were flying home the next day. HOWEVER, after seeing what it could have been, I would definitely book this excursion if are back in this part of Florida in the future. We were all very disappointed that the weather cut our trip short.

I would pass on this adventure - We did not really see anything. We were not out the full time stated on trip details. The guide did not have much knowledge of the area or the water. The guide was very nice. We paddled around in basically a circle. I think my daughter and I would have had more fun renting boards and going on our own. Also states to be there a half hour early and the guide did not want us there until the exact time so we waited for half hour.
