Great nature, great guide, great Hobie-kayaks - Buzz (our guide) and wonder-dog JJ toured us around the mangrove Islands and a little bit out into the Gulf. We got lucky and started our journey with a manatee sighting, and ended it with playful dolphins - seeing Osprey and Pelicans and herons and tons of other birds in between. Great pictures! So nice. Informative. Relaxing We were on the Hobie-kayaks - highly recommend that trip!

Pedal kayak with guide - Would not have been the same without our guide, Doug. First of all Mike was super informative, we had seen them on the side of the road and stopped to ask him some questions. Answered all of our questions gave us his card and we immediately booked a 2 1/2 hour excursion with a guide with the pedal kayak for the next day. Met them at the same spot, Doug took us out and took us to places we would've never gone on ourown. 1000% recommended.
