So worth it! - Great tour, amazing views, worth every penny! Went with my husband and 2 kids (11 and 14), we all had a great time. We were the only ones so it was like a private tour. Our guide Davis was great, very patient and knowladgeable. Highly recommend and will definitely do it again!

Kayak tour with Vinny - What a great day! Our guide Vinny was amazing as he explained the local wildlife, ecosystems, and history. Within 5 minutes on the water he spotted two manatees and later, a dolphin. I highly recommended this 2hr adventure, especially with Vinny as your guide.

Perfect day out for our family - Absolutely brilliant experience with Davis such a knowledgeable tour guide we felt really safe with him. Not long into the trip a manatee and her baby swam right next to our kayak, it was so beautiful we could not believe we had seen them close up. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone who loves nature and wants to spend a day away from the Orlando crowds in peaceful scenery!
