Book the trip! - Great experience! Highly recommend booking the trip! Kinsey was our guide. He was full of energy, information and fun. He also gave a great lunch recommendation for afterwards. Tour seemed fit for people of all ages and abilities. I did it 28 weeks pregnant, could do everything, and had a blast!

Best tour experience we’ve had - This was honestly such a great experience that I feel a little like we cheated them out of money because of how little it cost. The guide, Kinsey, was personable and went out of his way to find things to show and teach. The pace was comfortable, and everywhere we went was gorgeous!

Amazing kayak adventure suitable even for beginning kayakers. - Kinsley was a wonderful guide! Super fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and funny. We learned so much and had a wonderful time. We even saw 2 manatees "kissing" as part of their mating ritual. Loved visiting Beer Can Island. And totally had no idea there's a huge sandbar in the middle of the bay. Highly recommend Kinsley!

Adventure Seekers - I love that you get reminders about your excursions. Tommy called about a glitch with a sick employee before we left to start and explained we’d begin a half hr later but that was fine with us- 9:30 start. Ben stepped up and was our guide. Super Nice, Very Knowledgeable, and there to meet your interests! We wanted to find sand dollars. We enjoyed seeing manatees and going to an island to shell hunt. No dolphins this trip, but normally they are in the areas we ventured. We enjoyed snorkeling to see the huge snails and even found a big crab friend! The last thing we did was go to an area where we found tons of live sand dollars! It was a good workout to paddle to all these areas so be prepared for that. I’m 61 and took pain reliever before bed and feel fine this morning. Suggesting thick sun screen to soak in before you leave your place and wash your hands so you have grip for your paddle. We had 6 going to include my daughter and her 4 kids ages 6-12. The two older boys did fine together and then we helped the two littles. Hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we did!! Thanks Again Tommy and Ben!! 🫶

Island tour with Florida Blue Adventures = Win win - This was a great trip to kayak and explore a few sandbars and snorkel. Our guide Andrew was great! He made it a lot of fun for the kids and taught us a lot about the surrounding area. We went on a kayak trip earlier in the week with a different company and the trip with Florida Blue Adventures was hands down the best out of the two! Definitely recommend.

The island visited,... - The island visited, although interesting, is under the highway, so there's no sense of peace and quiet. But Ben was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun. Overall, I would recommend this trip.
