Great value for nature lovers - Lauren was extremely knowledgeable about the marine environment and local history and attractions. My wife and I got to see a manatee along with other wildlife. We felt the length of the kayaking tour was appropriate for the cost. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys nature.

11/10!!!! 5 stars, so much fun! - 11/10 recommend. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about our surroundings. We were able to see 2 manatees, and many other wildlife. She even gave us a very educational presentation on seashells!!! We highly recommend this to others, it is money well spent. If to go again, we would get a normal kayak rather than a clear bottomed one. The clear seemed harder to steer, and we were able to see better looking over the edge rather than the boat.

Fantastic - Very knowledgeable guide. Fantastic trip. Only note, we had the clear bottom kayak. With the water visibility it doesn’t make a big difference. A regular kayak tracks much better. That was our choice though! :)

Great time. Very friendly... - Great time. Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Our guides name was Elizabeth and she took the time to tell us about everything we passed by- couple kiddos in the group too so they got to learn a lot also.

Wonderful experience! - This was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife and very engaged in making sure we had a fun and educational experience. My 9-year-old son actively worked to stay close to the guide the whole time so he could listen to everything he was sharing and after the tour couldn't stop talking about all he had learned! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A wonderful tour - Our guide was very through and was attentive to anyone needing help. It was a 2.5-3 hour tour. No need to bring out your phone for photos. Nick was there to take them and he took close to 70 photos of our group to download. We did the morning tour at 9:30 am. Made certain we had hats, sunscreen, long sleeve (lightweight shirts) swimsuit and water shoes. We did the clear tandem kayak.

Equipment failures-bad experience - The best thing was our guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, careful and concerned. I say concerned because the equipment proved to be awful. We had a clear 2-seater but the back seat support straps would not stay tightened regardless of the countless times we tried to tighten them. The result was that the person in the back seat ended up rowing on their back! In addition, one fin of the paddle our son in the single seat kayak used broke. Our guide did his best to help and we made it back in one piece but we were not happy. I’m not sure how they got their 5 star rating but I’m sure it must have been due to their guide!
