Forget the others, go with Rivers to Ocean Kayaking - If you want the most comfortable kayak experience ever....then Rivers to Ocean Kayaking is it. The padded seats with back adjustment is like sitting in your favorite chair at home. You won't find other vendors using these types of kayaks. They are so stable you can stand up (like a paddleboard) in order to see the fish better. Going through the mangrove tunnels with the sun peeking through made the water sparkle in ways we've never experienced. The owner, Mark, taught us so much about how mangroves grow, flower and inhabit this very special waterway of the Indian River lagoon. Seeing stingrays in the wild was amazing. His customer service is spot on. He responds quickly to any requests prior to the trip. Finding the launch location was easy due to his detailed instructions. We will definitely book a longer trip next time. It was lovely to spend time with an environmentalist who is knowledgeable and cares about our Florida nature.

2 hour kayak tour - Mark and Fabia were excellent host. Mark was most informative and even though I live in Florida I still learned new info! We had our two grandchildren and they had a great time especially when we stopped on the sandbars so they could swim and explore in the river.

Fantastic excursion - What an amazing time. Mark and Fabia were wonderful guides that really took care of us since since we had not kayaked before. The knowledge we gained about the ecosystem was amazing and the Google Drive pics we received afterwards was a great memory. Would recommend to anyone.

Absolutely “Must Do” in Ft. Pierce area - Took a two hour tour with Mark today. He spent plenty of time helping everyone feel at ease with the equipment and the kayaks were super comfortable. He was very knowledgeable about the area, sharing information about plants and wildlife. Navigating through tunnels of mangroves was awesome. This is a trip for people of all ages and abilities. Mark also gave us recommendations for places to go in the Ft. Pierce area. So glad we booked this. You will not be disappointed!
