Amazing experience kayaking through the Mangrove tunnels of the Everglades! - 10/10! Over 3 hours of incredible sights and wildlife as we kayaked through the mangrove tunnels. Plenty of birds, fish, and nature. Our guide (Sean) was very knowledgeable and chill, happy to share lots of information and point out all of the plants, birds, and gator locations - though we were here at the end of the dry season, so not many gators around (but it didn't take away from the trip at all! ). Plus he had great recommendations for what else to do in the area!
The boats were in good condition and everything was professional and fun!

Top experience at a really fair price - The tour was very informative and the atmosphere with our guide Sean very relaxed. The equipment was good.
Nature is worth a look;)

Kayak Tour in Everglades - The kayak tour in the Everglades was unique and amazing. Our guide Sean was very friendly and gave many info about the area and wildlife over there.
Unfortunately, we did not come across any alligators this time due to the season, but we have seen many birds and mangroves. It is a good event to spend time in nature and connect with it.

Calm Mangrove Paddle - We had a wonderful paddle with Sean. He shared plenty of facts about the local ecosystem and the community. Saw some wildlife (egrets, herons, ospreys). Sean also had some recommendations for some additional wildlife view spots and lunch! Would definitely book a tour again!

Great trip and great guide (Matthew)! - We booked two kayak trips with them (Halfway creek and East river) and both were great. Matthew was our guide for both and he was quite knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. He made the kayaking trips enjoyable and safe. Overall great experience and highly recommend it.

It was a 3h kayak tour with two single kayaks - The guide was well-prepared for any kind of questions. My dad and I had a great kayak tour through the swamp and the mangrove forest. The guide always respected our wishes, and it was a pleasure to talk to him.

Amazing Everglades Adventure - Matt was my guide. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. He was able to communicated excellently when we came within 10ft of a gator in a small Chanel. Highly Recommended
