From the moment we arrived in the parking lot, Manny greeted us, knew our names, and was very thorough in explaining everything - where we'd be going, where to wait for him, what he was going to do whenever he left us, how to put on life jackets, how to get in/out of kayaks, how to paddle, etc. He provided us waterproof bags for our electronics/valuables. We kayaked to a shoal where we got out and took pictures, fished, etc. We went to one of the three available islands and did a short hike to see wildlife and fauna. 5 minutes into the tour I thought to myself, this is the best part of our vacation for sure. Manny said he cannot guarantee we will see wildlife but we did see dolphins, lizards, birds and, caught an ocean trout. The kayaking was easy and gentle, not scary at all. Manny knows the area and has a lot of stories and anecdotes about the area. He took a ton of pictures and videos of us which he sent to us no charge. I looked at four other kayak tours and I am 100% glad we chose iPaddle Miami; it exceeds expectations, great for the whole family. Exactly as advertised - a relaxing, fun, 2 hour kayak tour with an enthusiastic, knowledge, polite, competent guide (Manny). We loved it and will do it again for sure.

Manny was a great guide. He taught my teens and took his time getting everyone comfortable. The tour included a rendezvous with dolphins! It was an incredible encounter.

Great tour! We were in very good hands with Manny. He really knew the bay and he varies tours a bit depending on client interests. And it was a bonus to get some great photos of the day.

Beautiful introduction to paddle boarding, Soooo glad we chose iPaddle, they were super accommodating, and are very knowledgeable about the waters in the area and the sport. They helped each one of us in our group, and we went away with great memories. I highly recommend this top rate company.

Our “crew” was very attentive to our group and interacted great with our Girl Scouts! We were a little late to arrive for our tour due to traffic and the crew was patient and accommodating. This was one of the highlights of our 4 day trip to the area. We all were all successful in standing up on our boards and enjoyed the water, weather and exercise! If back in the area we would definitely visit again and recommend this company to anyone interested in learning how to SUP!!
