Definitely worth the drive from Dauphin Island - Our kayak trip on the delta was so much fun! Chris was an awesome guide ~ super knowledgeable and friendly. Three generations had a great time together ~ 4yo, 46yo and 75yo!

We had a great time on our kayaking tour and would recommend to anyone! - My husband and I were on our honeymoon when we visited Mobile and it was great to get onto the water and explore the Delta with Chris! Chris was relaxed, easy to chat to and very knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife. We saw alligators, pelicans (diving!), crabs scurrying along the bottom of the Delta, osprey and other birds. I'd really recommend joining one of Chris' kayaking tours!

Great delta trip! - Chris was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. My wife and I were staying at Maeher State Park, walked over to the put-in and did a tandem kayak on the tour. Chris greeted us there. There were 11 kayaks, but Chris got us in the water quickly and soon we were experiencing the delta. Saw alligators, osprey, eagles and other wildlife. Very enjoyable.

Wonderful kayak tour! - Michael guided us on a wonderful paddle of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta out of 5 Rivers in Spanish Fort. It was a delightful morning. We learned a lot about the flowers and plants on the water. Saw many birds and even an alligator. We would highly recommend this tour and also Wild Native Tours-they are a top notch company, very friendly, professional, informative, and nice!

Sunset Kayak Tour - Chris was our tour guide and was awesome. He had a lot of information and stories to share. I am a local taking my mom, from the West coast, and we both learned a ton of cool facts and stories about the Delta. My mom was a little nervous about the alligators, but Chris was great about making sure she saw an alligator but also making sure she felt safe. The tour was partially at night which is an experience I would never do without a guide and was great to be able to experience.
Highly recommend this experience if you're in Mobile and want to learn about the local biodiversity while spending sometime out on the water.

Nice winter nature trip - I wanted to see the cypress tree, but since it is January, I was the only one interested so that trip was not offered.
However, I ended up with a solo kayak delta trip and Michael (photo below) was really great. He is knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Michael obviously enjoys his work.
I recommend this trip and hope to return for the summer version, next time I am in the area.

Kayak rental - The service is exceptional. I am in Mobile, AL for work and had no car. They picked me up at my hotel on time and with a smile. Equipment worked well and the scenery fantastic. Highly recommend.
