Clear water, great tour and a SHARK appearance!! - We had the most amazing tour! Justin was so knowledgeable about all things Florida and marine life. A young bull shark swam right up to the kayaks to check us out! I was not quick enough to get it on camera but it was an experience my daughter and I will talk about for years to come. No more than 5 minutes later a sting ray jumped out of the water directly in front of the kayak. Go do this tour!! So worth it!

Perfect day on the water! - We were so lucky and picked the perfect day for a kayak trip. The weather was perfect, the water was clear and flat and our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. We didn’t get to see any manatees or dolphins, but saw lots of birds and learned so much about the area. Highly recommend!

Fun way to get on the water! - We had fun navigating and taking in the views. The Captain did a great job keeping tabs on us and watching for safety. He also borrowed me clothes as it was windy and cold when we went :) I wouldn’t be strong enough to do on my own, so the 2 person kayak worked great and we made it through just fine. There are a few stops for breaks which was nice.

Kayaking Clear through Clearwater - Tour guide was excellent. Clear bottom kayaks were great. My family had a great time and got a nice workout.

Fun and a good workout! - The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. It is a workout, so be prepared to do a lot of manual work. All in all, super cool. Saw some dolphins but no manatees, probably due to cold weather but still awesome

Fun in the sun kayaking! - Bridget was a great tour guide and very informative. However, some of the seats on the kayaks need to be fixed.

Awesome tour, didn’t love the kayak. - Tour guide was amazing and tour was great. We were not fans of the actual kayaks. With no place to stabilize your feet it made paddling difficult. The kayaks also sat too low,

No wildlife spotted - Abraham was an awesome tour guide. Docking a star because our kayak had a broken rudder and we were forced to row on only one side to be able to move forward. To say we were tired and sore would be an understatement 😂 Also we didn’t see any marine life, just a bunch of birds.

Disappointing - The so-called kayaking experience was a dismal disappointment, deviating significantly from the enticing portrayal on their website. The "clear" waters were nothing more than murky plastic kayaks launching from a filthy site into contaminated water. The advertised serene river was, in reality, choppy gulf water devoid of corals, reefs, or any marine life – just green water overrun with seaweed. Our guide, an elderly gentleman with an inaudible voice he needed an assistant or a partner, left us almost directionless. Despite being a group of eight on four boats, communication with him was futile, I had genuine concerns for his well-being. We had to carry the boats from the street to the filthy shore. Attempting a group photo was futile, as the guide's hands covered the iPhone lens, and despite us guiding him through taking another photo, he couldn’t . No office existed; the provided address led us to the Clearwater Library, where the librarian expressed irritation at the misuse of their location by the kaiak people/person. Boat paperwork and boat transportation were our responsibilities, as the boat owner met us on the street. He had no one to assist him!! The sole efficiency demonstrated was the ability to extract an exorbitant sum of money for this frustrating ordeal. If there were a rating lower than one star, it would be well-deserved. Don't be beguiled by website images; this experience is unequivocally unworthy. Refer to the attached pictures for visual evidence.
