Kayaking tour - We went on this tour for our 11 year wedding anniversary. We were lucky enough for it to just be the 2 of us and our awesome guide, Ben! He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned and saw so many amazing creatures and plant life. Sharks, dolphins, turtles, oysters, sea birds, and so much more. Watching the ecosystem hard at work beyond exceeded our expectations, and the information provided to us and all of our questions was great. We will definitely be doing other tours. Especially with Ben as our guide.

Dolphins - There was a slight snafu, but Ben made it right for us. Amazing time! Saw dolphins as soon as we left the boat ramp. Would definitely do again.

Fun excursion out onto the water - My friend and I were visiting and decided to come and do this. Neither of us were experts but Ben was super helpful getting us out onto the water. We took the 8 am trip and would recommend. We saw a manatee the first ten minutes of not even getting in the water as well as a sea turtle playing close to the docks. We were nervous about going out further but Ben put us quickly at ease. We also saw lots of dolphins out on the water as well as oysters. He talked about the ecosystem of the area, all the animals and was super informative. Would definitely do it again! Thanks Ben!

Very informative and enjoyable experience - Ben was an excellent guide who gave us very helpful hints on making our kayaking easy and he was very knowledgeable on the Ecco system. We didn't get to see any dolphins or turtles while out but still had a very enjoyable time.

Kayaking near St. Augustine - We had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency. Literally last minute. We were sitting on the shore waiting to go. Our guide was very understanding. The meeting place was Genung's fish camp. Not only would I recommend Ben as a guide, I would recommend the fish camp and bait shop as well. Before we had to run, we were able to see dolphins swimming right off shore.

Nice tour - Ben, our tour guide did a good job. He had a lot of good information about the eco system of the area. We saw lots of birds and some dolphins. The only negative was that the currents were strong so it required constant paddling

Too much talk - We saw dolphins and birds but we stopped too much to listen to lectures on the environment. Was very educational but we would have preferred more kayaking and less talk.
