Great family fun with Joseph as our guide! - We had an amazing time paddle boarding with Joseph as our guide. We got to stop at the sandbar walk around and check out marine life. Definitely recommend the early a.m. tour when the tide is low so you get to check out the sandbar. Saw a pod of dolphins. Very cool trip. We will be back!

Great Experience even with Challenges! - Joseph was a great guide. We had a wonderful experience! This was my first time paddle boarding and he gave great instructions. My only complaint about the entire experience is this excursion is not very clear or well described. I did not realize until signing the waivers, that it is either kayaking or paddle boarding and the equipment is first come first serve. I had planned to kayak in a tandem kayak based on what I understood from the description, but didn’t look at a lot of the photos on trip advisor which show mostly paddle boarding. It may say somewhere and I just missed it. I am very experienced at kayaking and knew I could guide my son when I’d need him to paddle and do it without his assistance. Although they were out of kayaks, I am an adventurer and did not mind trying paddle boarding. However, we had a windy day on the water and trying to paddle the weight of myself and my son against it was just impossible after so long and my arms got tired and couldn’t do it fast enough to gain any ground to stay with the group. After awhile, we’d fallen very far behind the group. Thankfully Joseph came back for us! We had to transition my son onto Joseph’s paddle board from mine, along with his cooler onto my paddle board. What we were doing in the wind would have been tough on any vessel and could have tipped and been a messy situation. Even after the relief of less weight I had gotten so tired I was still way behind everyone, but once again he came back and towed me up to everyone! All was well after that. He handled the situation very well and my son and I had a blast! I would totally do this again.

Dolphins and Sea Turtles Oh My! - Spence was amazing! We had a blast. We saw some dolphins (including a baby!) and a sea turtle. It was too cold yet for manatees. But it was a great experience! Definitely recommend.
