Wonderful experience - What a great experience it was like our own private tour as there was only us two. We was out for 3 wonderful hours with the very knowledgeable Skye showing us all the wildlife. We spotted manatees, dolphins, a shark, lots of fish and birds. The 3 hours went by quickly. This was our first time and Skye was very patient telling us what we needed to do. We stopped at a sandbar to cool off but the breeze stopped us getting too hot. I really can’t recommend this tour enough. If you have got smaller children they do have a tandem kayak so this is good for that situation or limited ability. You do need some ability to be able to sit and get in the kayak which wasn’t very difficult

Awesome!! - Sky was a fantastic guide. The pedaling kayak was easier for our group, rather than rowing. We went mid-week, out of Bird Key, with very little traffic on the water (which was nice). We saw Manatees up close - swimming under our kayaks. The Mangrove tunnels were great and the stop at the sandbar was really fun. Sky is very knowledgeable about the area and has a great personality- very witty. Was a good workout - about 4 miles. Would absolutely recommend this company!

Great day kayaking the intercostal water. - Great day pedaling the kayaks. Saw a lot of wildlife, including a manatee that swam right under my kayak. Sky did a great job informing us about the area, the wildlife, and giving us a great kayak experience.

JUST BOOK IT! - This is the 3rd time I have taken this tour. FABULOUS. Saw manatees, dolphins, rays, etc., etc. on each journey. Fun, knowledgeable tour guide. Once you do pedal kayaks, you will never go back to paddles. You need this experience in your life!

Perfect adventure - Our kayak trip was the highlight of the week! Sky was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the wildlife, area and letting us know what to look for in certain areas during our tour. We saw many birds, fish, starfish and crabs. Sky even spotted dolphins (from far away) and we pedaled to a safe distance to where we able to watch them hunt near the mangroves. The clarity of the water was a bonus, we felt as though we were in the Caribbean. We stopped at the sand bar for a quick dip, to stretch and find more sea life. Sky helped my kids, showing them grace and kindness, when they started to get tired. Thank you for such a memorable experience, pedaling around Lido Key!

Pedal Kayaks are the way to go! - Our family of four had an awesome time on our tour with Skye. He was super accommodating and made the time enjoyable and fun. We really liked the pedal kayaks as an alternative to traditional kayaks. They allowed us to cover more ground and were very easy to steer. It was well worth the rate for a 3 hr tour.
