Dolphin encounter - It was a fun paddling day. We got to see manatees, pelicans and I had a dolphin swim right under me. Erin and Ethan did a great job.

Great experience - Cameron was the best tour guide. He has so much knowledge and experience of the area and marine life. We didn’t get to see as much wildlife as we had hoped but it was still a great experience. We would definitely recommend it and hope to get a chance to go again.

It’s was a beautiful day,... - It’s was a beautiful day, we saw manatees, the wild birds, flying fish, no dolphins but you can control the wild life. Our tour guide was very nice and very helpful. I would 10/10 do it again

Great time with a great guide - The weather was gorgeous and our guide was excellent. The guide had the kayaks and paddle boards down at the water when we arrived and he quickly got us going. He was very careful about safety, making certain we stayed out of the way of other marine craft on the water which was greatly appreciated. He located spoonbills, dolphins, and manatees. I had been doubtful, but was determined to simply enjoy my time on the water when I was pleasantly surprised. Our guide knew his stuff! He knows the habits and nature of the wildlife and was able to locate them and tell us a little about each.

Non interactive tour - Lot’s of wildlife, dolphins at play, mosquitoes in the mangroves, easy paddle. Tour guide was not acknowledging any questions and if she did she did, she was short with a response.

You’re guided through... - You’re guided through mangrove river and tunnels and it is very much a guided tour not a constant tour. There are some moments the tour guide will explain things otherwise you’re pretty much constantly kayaking through and around the area. It’s beautiful and the wildlife and views are abundant. Definitely not a super interactive tour but the whole point is to see the preserve and the wildlife! Sunscreen your legs big time, it gets very sunny and hot.

Go for the Kayak, not the manatees. - Kayaking through the mongrove trees were cool but our guide was very soft spoken and not personable. We only saw 1 manatee and it was at a distance. When we started to kayak closer, we were told to leave room.

Cool spot, disappointing guide - While the mangroves were super awesome and we were able to see dolphins, jumping fish, and pelicans…our guide was honestly disappointing. As soon as we arrived the interactions with her were very strange and she didn’t ever seem to want to answer our questions. She did a good job finding wildlife and had a lot of facts, but she spoke so quietly it was almost impossible to hear her. It wasn’t the upbeat experience we were hoping for.

Not great at all - The guide did not start on time and left us waiting an hour. It was confusing and only done we asked questions in the beginning. We did not see any fish or wildlife.
