Great Experience! - Our guide was very patient with our group that consisted of varying kayak abilities. We had a wonderful experience being among the dolphins and even saw some Bald Eagles. We didn't expect our guide to be such a wealth of information; but he really did go above and beyond for our group.

Awesome dolphins experience - Matt (the guide) made it enjoyable for all in attendance. From the novice kayaker to the experienced kayaker. He was patient and kind. He was very knowledgeable of the marine life and kept close contact on all participants. You can tell he loves his job and loves sharing all of his experience. This is the closest encounter we have ever had with the dolphins. Great experience with a great guide definitely would recommend it.

Fantastic fun and energizing - This was an amazing way to start our day! The group of young men that guided us were friendly, informative and helpful. We had dolphins swim right by our kayaks!

This was an incredible... - This was an incredible experience, far more than what I was expecting. We saw several different pods of dolphins, both in the distance and close up. Our guide was fantastic with helping us in the kayaks and getting us to the right places to be as close to the dolphins as possible, and was very knowledgeable about them. I'd love to do it again!

AMAZING! - AMAZING! Was hoping to see maybe a dolphin or two, saw more like 100. More time slots than any other business in the area as well. Tommy was a great guide and made sure we all had the best experience ever. 6/5 stars if I could.

Beautiful sunset! - We had a morning time but when we arrived the wind was blowing quite strong and the water was very ruff. Tommy our guide suggested coming back for the 5:30 time which we did and it was a great trip! The water was calm, the dolphins were all around us, and as an added bonus the sunset was beautiful!

great family experience - we had a great time a a family. Our guide Matt took the time to prep us, introduce us to other members of the group and make us feel connected with the others even if we had very little experience kayaking. we saw plenty of dolphins, some from a distance and some quite close swimming together (adults and babies), it was a great experience.
