Family from MN - We took our 7 and 9 year old and they did great. We didn't see a lot of wildlife but fun time.

Great Kayak Tour! - Our guide (“Quoina” I’m sure I butchered the name) was super knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. Tour included stops at the beach, gulf, and through the mangroves. Wonderful tour and was just the right amount of time/paddeling. Would highly recommend!!!

Exceptional Kayak Tour Thanks to Audrey - I had an amazing experience with this kayaking company! Our tour guide, Audrey, was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable, shared so much interesting information throughout the tour, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. She was also very patient with me, which I truly appreciated, and her excellent safety skills made me feel comfortable and confident on the water the entire time. Audrey’s professionalism and calm demeanor made this a memorable experience, and I highly recommend booking with this company — especially if you get Audrey as your guide!
