Sand bar stop looking for... - Sand bar stop looking for shells, and of course seeing three manatees. The guide Tom was great. He was informative and willing to let us tour at our own pace. Thanks!

A Beautiful Experience amidst Beautiful Sites - Our guide, Tommy, was very knowledgeable, informative, and extremely capable at kayaking and guiding. The best memories were the many dolphins we saw (many very close to our kayak), fish jumping out of the water, and pelicans swooping down to grab fish. The sunset and associated pictures were also beautiful. The trip expense was reasonable and the experience was well worth the money. The trip requires some exertion to paddle the kayak but it's well worth the effort.

Great experience! - Tommy was very personable and was great at catering to our needs. We felt very safe with him as our guide. He is very knowledgeable and went out of his way to note wild life throughout the experience. The sunset was amazing and the guide took photos to share with us while we just enjoyed the moment.

Well worth it - Tommy was a great tour leader. He was very personable and friendly. He made sure we were all having a great time. I think we saw about 4 or 5 dolphins before we were all done. We all had a great time.

Fantastic nature and service - We had a wonderful experience! Our guide customized, there was just my wife and I, the experience taking account of our expressed concerns and interests. We passed within 10 feet of a dolphin, observed several species of birds - herons, egrets, pelicans, cormorants- and he was familiar with all, their habits and roosting sites within the fantastic mangroves. We will be going back for the exceptional nature and service!

Just got engaged earlier in the day and this sunset kayak cruise was a great way to close on the day! - Quiet spot back in the mangroves was amazing and the sunset was outstanding! Great tour guide as well. Very educated on the surroundings and knows his wildlife!

100% recommendable - 100% recommend this area and company! Saw a coon swimming, all kinds of birds, walked on a sandbar. The owner/guide gave us a bonus of pointing out an owls nest and saw a juvenile branching...he is very personable and made real phone calls to make sure I could find the meeting spot and helped me rebook as it was too windy to do the dolphin evening tour so did the noon mangrove tour instead!
