2 hour kayak trip - Expect to get your butt a little wet. Wear flop flops or water shoes. Julia was a great guide, very personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about the ecosystem! Sadly we didn't see any manatee but kinda knew we would be lucky if we did. Would recommend for the price and took about 2 hours. There is free parking at the launch site.

A must-do eco tour! - Thank you so much, Julie! We had an incredible private tour... we would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Julie is the owner and is so knowledgeable about all the marine life in area. She was also very patient with us, two inexperienced kayakers! We saw stingrays, a beautiful great blue heron, the oyster beds and so many other things up close, and it was so interesting to learn about how man and the hurricanes have affected local marine life and the mangroves. This is a don't miss experience for anyone interested in an eco-tour vs. the hustle and bustle of the beach scene.

Relaxing and fun kayak tour. - Experience wasincredibly fun. We took it at a pace that anyone maintain after two hours. I was not sore. We had a great opportunity to explore the mangroves and see wildlife. The guide was amazing. I highly recommend her. Call direct for military discount.

Kayaking feedback - Our guide was late to arrive, which meant nothing was set up. She did keep us longer at the end to make up for the very late start. She was knowledgeable but hard to hear if you were not one of the first two kayaks by her.
