Will do it again! - Excellent! Our guide was delightful, casual, flexible, professional, knowledgeable. It's helpful to know how to kayak but doesn't have to be perfect! He was also patient. We saw lots of beautiful birds, and some dolphin play. He also explained a lot about the mangroves and their great value.

A biologist leads the tour, use these guys - I found the guide very knowledgeable and helpful . He spoke with confidence about the birds and dolphins we saw. He led the group on a leisurely paced paddle. He expanded his information to include manatees and the formation of the nature reserve. The meeting place directions were right on and water we got the safety talk we were off. We saw dolphins, both mother and babies and male dolphins hunting. We went through mangrove tunnels, that was cool. The guide helped a novice paddler with tips to make the paddle more enjoyable. Overall the tour checked all my expectation boxes. Use this service.

Lively dolphin activity - Fantastic day on the water and in the mangroves. Cameron was an excellent guide mixing knowledge of the ecosystem and wildlife with humor. We had beautiful weather and high level of dolphin activity, coming very close to our kayaks. Very laid back, but also professionally run excursion.

Dolphin Sighting - We had a great experience with our tour guide Erin. We saw several different species of birds and did see a dolphin which swam right by us. No manetees but seeing the dolphin made it worth the trip!

Aerin provides a great tour - we saw dolphins and many birds - plus a unique paddle through mangrove tunnels! - Aerin was a fantastic guide - exploring was great fun and she contextualized what we saw and experienced… fun, eye opening, and educational at once. Also provided some gear like bug spray that was very useful. She’s funny too! Highly recommend!
