Great kayak tour! - We had a great time on the tour with our guide Danny! We went thru the mangroves and learned about the different types. Saw a variety of birds and fish. Ended the tour at the watch tower where we got some good pics of the mangroves. Would recommend!!

Great Family Adventure - My family loved this kayaking adventure. We had an amazing time with our guide, Alexis, she shared a lot of information about the ecosystem and history of this beautiful area. Not only did we kayak, but we also got to spend time in the 50 foot lookout tower overlooking the preserve. We saw lots of birds, manatees and sea turtles. A perfect way to spend the morning or afternoon. We will be back!

Clear kayaks in dark water - Our guide was superb! She knew so much about nature. However, I believe advertising clear boats is misleading. The water is so dark that having a clear kayak doesn’t mean anything. All you can see is dark water!

A Disappointing Tour in Uncomfortable Kayaks - “Clear” kayaks - bah! They’re so scratched that one can see more clearly from the side of the kayak than through it. They’re also tandem only except for odd-numbered guests - no single kayaks. The flotation square given is your padding under the uncomfortable seat, but it’s bothersome because it shifts out from beneath you. Regular single kayaks we rented a few days later from another outfit were MUCH better and more comfortable. Friendly guide was marine biologist who could tell us about the oyster beds below but little else. We weren’t offered opportunity to swim as website mentions. Tour advertised for 8-10:30 but ended at 9:39am.
