Kayak tour on Indian river lagoon - Our guide was Nolan. It was a really good trip on the river. Nolan was a very pleasant and friendly person who shared stories and information about the culture and wildlife of Florida. We can definitely recommend Nolan as your guide on the Indian River Lagoon Paddle/Kayak Tour

Dolphins seen while paddle boarding with Nolan - Went paddle boarding with Nolan and had a great time! We saw some dolphins and got to go through some mangrove trails. He informed us about the mangrove types and the animals we saw which was very fun. 10/10 would recommend again and make sure to ask for Nolan.

Amazing paddle board experience - Nolan is the man. Great guide with some local knowledge and a great sense of humor with some charisma. He played some tunes that were a great vibe and made me as a first time paddle boarder feel very comfortable. He talked a lot about the mangroves and I learned a lot from him. Definitely want him as a guide again the next time I visit! Saw some dolphins as well.

Family paddle - While we didn’t see any dolphins or manatees, Nolan, our tour guide, was fantastic!! My girls loved paddle boarding and we had a great time learning about the wildlife and other interesting facts. The downside is that now the kids want paddle boards ❤️
