Great Time on the Water! - We've been on many kayaking trips, and this was most certainly one of the best. Mark's knowledge of the eco system was unsurpassed, I was never aware of the complexity of the Mangroves and their relationship to the environment until this tour. The kayaks were super comfortable with the upright seating, and the motor power back was pretty neat. It really was a great experience with a great guide and would strongly recommend.

Kayaking - Mark was a phenomenal guide. He is knowledgeable and enjoys sharing his knowledge. We walked the sand bar and found several lightening welck, a queen conch, shells and a 9 leg sea star! The kayaks were very comfortable so the 4 hours went fast. We are going to do the 6 hour sometime in March.

GREAT TRIP! - Our guide, Mark, was very knowledgeable and very personable. It was so interesting to find out about the different mangrove varieties and all the critters living in this ecosystem. Of course the highlight was the dolphins we watched feeding, especially when two of them swam right under the front of the kayak where my grandson sat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TRIP!

We had a fantastic time on this kayak adventure with Mark. - We had beautiful weather and the trip was quiet and peaceful. We were a small group of 5 in 3 kayaks. Mark is extremely knowledgable and kind and taught us a lot about what we were seeing. He took his time and the trip was not rushed. We saw a stingray, crabs, starfish, and dolphin. Learned lots of fascinating details about mangroves. Loved the comfortable kayaks and the motors we used on our return were amazing. Mark made sure everyone was comfortable and did everything possible to ensure a great time for all. Can't recommend enough! Best kayak adventure we've ever been on. Kudos and thank you Mark!!
