A wonderful experience - Our guide offered us a wonderful tour: he was not only very friendly and attentive, he also pointed out many animals and interesting things in nature, explained everything to us and responded to our questions and wishes. The tour through the mangrove tunnels was so very interesting and exciting. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins out in the bay very close to our kayaks. We can only recommend this tour!

Wonderful way to spend the afternoon! - Had a wonderful time kayaking! We recently moved to Florida and i am looking for places to take guests when they come visit. This will definitely be on the list. Sky, our tour guide, was fun and knowledgeable and did everything he could to make sure we all had a wonderful time kayaking for the afternoon. The kayaks had the pedal option, which I hadn’t used before, but was fantastic. You definitely get your moneys worth with this tour - it was a great way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommend!

Wonderful time.... - My sister and I had a wonderful time. Our tour guy, Sky, was excellent. Our guided tour lasted 3 hours. This tour uses pedal kayaks, which are excellent for tours like this. You are using leg muscles and not arm muscles, it is easier to turn and you sit higher in the kayak, so you don't get wet. We kayaked through narrow mangrove water trails. We saw manatees. We had cormorants follow us and catch fish around our kayaks. We highly recommend this guided kayak tour and Sky, our tour guide.

Brilliant guide, beautiful nature, easy kayaking! - I took this tour with my father and we couldn’t stop talking about it for the rest of our trip! Our guide was truly an expert naturalist, pointing out sights and species along the way while being so thoughtful and accommodating to our different ability levels. The pedal kayaks were super easy/intuitive, and allowed me to use binoculars and take photos too. Thank you SO much - we can’t recommend this experience enough!

Fun afternoon on the water - Skye was an amazing tour guide, he is very knowledgeable and really wants to make sure you have a great experience. This was our first time on a paddle kayak and we found them to be really easy to use. We toured the mangroves, saw some manatees, dolphins and sea birds. We also learned quite a bit about the mangroves and the marine life that lives there. The tour is about 2 to 2.5 hours but it went by very quickly, I highly recommend this tour.
