Mother's Day Kayak - Davis was great! He was able to take us around the area and maneuver a back way to get away from the crowds. Seeing the manatee mamma and baby was the highlight of the trip!

Mother’s Day Kayak with Family - Davis was a wonderful tour guide who answered all of our questions. He showed us interesting sites along the way and let us go at our own pace. Added bonus of a mom and baby manatee coming up to check out our kayaks. Wonderful day!

Great experience. Second time back. - Today we had Davis as our guide and he was patient and informative. He ensured to point out the spots we were most likely to see manatees. We ended up seeing one on our way to our destination and another on the way back which was awesome! It was such a perfect day, the tides were working in our favor. 😊

Amazing time - Ashley was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing. She is so knowledgeable about nature and wildlife and taught us sooo much about the manatees, we even spotted one! She educated us about every tree, bird, animal, and area we’ve seen during kayaking. She’s so personable and friendly and made us have a wonderful time. Thank you so much Ashley!!
