We had a great kayak trip... - We had a great kayak trip planned and the weather was not good so we shortened it and still got to see some fabulous homes, beautiful neighborhoods and had a lovely afternoon. Normally this is a 4+ mile trek and we cut it down to 2, we were not disappointed and will definitely go back again!

Fun tour with a relaxed pace - The workers we interacted with communicated well and were helpful. The tour leader was knowledgeable and helped keep our group together. It was a nice loop to paddle in a relaxed pace

GREAT experience for... - GREAT experience for experienced lake kayakers. Sea kayaks are slightly different, so there was an added challenge. Would do again.

Great tour and first kayak experience - This was my first time to try kayaking. It could not have been a more positive experience. Our guide, Matt, was super attentive and patient, ensuring that I knew the basics. A few minutes with a coach’s eye and I was on my way. I will definitely look for more opportunities to kayak as I return home. Highly recommend the tour for anyone wanting to take a break from the beach and enjoy some good company on the water.

Fun day on the canals - Great way to see parts of Ft. Lauderdale from the water. Lots of fun history & facts from our guide. Good combo of history and nature

Check that your guide is acting sober before heading out - Our guide, Mike, was slurring his words, had to stop to rest a lot, and didn’t tell us anything about the area. He also let two of our group get so separated that they didn’t know what to do when we got to a low bridge. We would have had a much better time with a different guide or even self-guided. I’d check who’s doing the tour before heading out. Avoid Mike.

Meh. - Guide was wonderful but the tour was not what we expected. We did not see any of the big mansions just a normal neighborhood of some smaller and larger homes. It was a lovely tour just not what was expected.
