Good experience, peanut island was awesome. We saw a manatee! And when we got back the guy working told us that was rare this time of year. So that was cool to know.

The reservation process was simple and efficient. When we arrived, we were slightly confused about parking and the actual location of the rental stand. That info could've been easier to find on the website and with signage onsite. Obviously it's located by the water, but it isn't clear when parking. The service was slightly unfriendly, but the process to obtain life jackets and kayak equipment was easy enough. The equipment was in good shape. Directions to the island are self explanatory but a more patient explanation of the preferred route to the north side of the island would have been nice.

The prices are different online than in person. Could have saved 40$ if I bought in person. Paid 80$ for 3 hours online. 80$ was full price in person

Arrived and had to wake up the guy at the desk who proceeded to tell me my reservation was not valid and they were out of kayaks. When I objected he called over another person who asked if I had a reservation and I said test for three double kayaks. He said he had them. We got no assistance with anything including life jackets panels etc. the only I conversation was to be sure we would be back by 5’pm.
