So fun!!! - The tour was perfect! The crowd size was big enough to feel comfortable, but close enough to feel personal. The variety of wildlife, aside from the dolphins, was one of the best parts! Plus, our tour guide was so entertaining!

Awesome sunset kayak! - Our sunset kayak tour was such a wonderful and fun experience. Lachlan was absolutely fantastic. He took us to all the areas where we were most likely to see dolphins, birds, and even manatees. Along the way, he shared so much interesting information about the wildlife and the area itself, which made the experience even more special. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and never made us feel rushed. One thing I really appreciated was that he let us simply pause and enjoy the sunset before heading back. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Highly Recommend! Book immediately! - I enjoyed this experience a lot! I made a lot of worthwhile memories, and this experience was the main thing we kept talking about after we left the trip. It was amazing being able to learn to kayak since we were absolute beginners, and we got to see one manatee and one dolphin! Our hopes weren't that high at first but we ended up learning about some of the history of florida, choose out some shells, kayak, take selfies with crabs, and overall just had an amazing time! We were laughing for the entire time, our tour guides, andrew and the other guy, were great. I can't believe they managed a group of about 9 people and we all had an equal amount of fun! I will definitely go again when we come back to FL. They even made accommodations based on the weather to have the best experience we could have! It was amazing and I recommend it the most out of any other tour you could choose.

Highly recommend! - Super fun!! Went with a group of 7, started off as absolute newbies at kayaking! At the ends I felt like a pro. We saw one manatee and one dolphin although we thought we wouldn’t see any, we got a lot of photos (and laughs) while also making the best memories of all time. Out of our entire two week trip, this was our favorite activity! Very worth it

10/10 - I had such a blast on the sunset dolphin tour. It was a little over 2 hours which is more than enough cause it’s an intense workout. But we had a beautiful sunset and we got to follow the dolphins up close and personal . Shoutout to our tour guide “Kinsey” he made the trip 10x better. He was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel safe 100% of the time . Would def recommend!
