Fun Vacation Experience - We had a lot of fun! The original location we were supposed to kayak in apparently had heavy winds in that area so they brought us somewhere else. We kayaked through mangroves that smelled awful. A couple of us almost got stuck in bush. It wasn’t the most pleasant location to kayak but still enjoyed ourselves.

Wow! What a fantastic family adventure! Caught a crab!!! - Wow, wow, wow! A must do! Cat and Ricky were amazing! We caught a blue crab, saw a baby shark, and a needle fish jumped in the kayak with us! My mom almost flipped us, but it was super safe, and we didn't feel scared at all. We took the 9:30pm adventure, and boy, was it a blast. We even saw a baby corn snake as we were waiting to go out into the abyss. I would recommend wearing water proof shoes, bringing a flash light and maybe a towel to sit on. Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet and dirty. Great adventure for our family visiting from Oklahoma! P.s. Practice rowing a kayak because we had never been before, and it was not easy. It is 1.5 hours of rowing to the canal and back, and if it gets windy, it is not easy!!

Kayaking Fun - It’s an experience you have to try. You could see under the kayak for sea life. Saw a manatee. Kids would enjoy this as well. Some clear areas and some areas you couldn’t see anything under your kayak. But a nice experience overall.

Tour with Amy - Our guide Amy did a fantastic job telling us about the mangroves and the birds and the different species. We had a good experience traveling through the mangroves tunnels.

Amazing experience - We saw a couple of manatees in the canal and they hung around for quite a while with us, sniffing and swimming under our kayaks! We later saw some dolphins in the distance. Our guide, John, was amazing. Very funny and knowledgeable about the local wildlife and plants.

Meh - John was a great guide but we didn't really see anything and water is murky so no need for clear bottoms. Just not a very scenic route.

Truly terrible - Terrible experience. They cancelled my tour last minute because they said they don’t make enough money because I booked through Trip Advisor. The day before I offered to pay DOUBLE and they agreed just so I could still do it. Then the day of the tour, when I have no chance to book somewhere else for my day trip they tell me to get a refund from “viator.” Really awful!!
