Kayaking on the mirror - Fantastic experience with Mark and Fabia. They were kind, patient and spent a lot of time sharing their knowledge of the mangroves. It was a calm and lovely experience.

Outstanding Experience; Highly Recommend! - We’re planning our next trip to FL simply to do another tour with Rivers to Oceans Kayaking. Paddling (easy!) through a fascinating and unique environment like the mangrove jungle with someone as knowledgeable as our guide Mark is wonderful; that he has a genuine passion for this area and provides the best visitor care and service left us wanting to go again! We learned so much about this place - with the only trees the world that can grow in salt water, the critters that depend on this ecosystem, it’s prehistoric support of the Glades natives and it’s ongoing role in keeping the coast intact. Who knew! Well we do now😊; I can only highly recommend that you go yourself. P.S., it’s really fun!

Beautiful Tour through the Mangroves - This is an amazing tour! I highly recommend Rivers to Ocean Kayaking. We went through the mangroves, which was peaceful and beautiful. The tour guide knew a lot about the wildlife and environment of the mangroves. We saw so many beautiful birds, and other aquatic life. There were fish, crabs, jellyfish, and even dolphins! You will have a great time!

Fabulous kayaking tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour tour with Rivers to Ocean Kayaking! Our friends took a longer tour in the past and highly recommended Mark. The only reason we didn’t take an all day tour was because we only had 2 days in the area but we are definitely coming back. We had never seen mangroves up close like that and learned so much from Mark! Seeing, touching and even licking the red mangrove salty leaf is an experience we will never forget ❤️ Thank you for a great experience!
