Great Tour, Great Guide, and we Saw Animals - This tour was amazing. It was a n easy paddle and we ended up seeing some friendly manatee that came up to our boats! We also saw stingray, osprey, fish, jelly fish, and dolphin. Cricket was an excellent tour guise. She was knowledgeable and courteous. Great job!

Highly recommend - We had a fantastic time on this trip. We saw dolphins, manatees, flamingos, great white pelicans, roseate spoonbills, osprey and great blue heron. Jeff was a great guide, funny, knowledgeable and kept us right. He even took time to show us the black and red mangroves and explained their importance to us. Highly recommend.

One of our favorite experiences on vacation - Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to experience wildlife in Florida. We saw dolphins, jellyfish, lots of birds, and fish all up close, and the outline of manatees! 1/2 day was the perfect amount of time for my boyfriend and I. We had limited experience kayaking, and by the time we were finish we were feeling it in our shoulders. Jeff was a great host! We chose the self guided tour, and he told us all about the area, taught us about the nature, and let us know he’d be available if we needed anything.

Off the beaten path - We were in Daytona Beach for extended weekend with daughter in college events, but had an extra day so we decided to try this out and we’re glad we did. Saw jellyfish, two gators, and lots of manatees close up… but honestly even if we didn’t see anything it was worth it just for the relaxation factor and communing with nature. Our guide, Logan, knew his stuff so we learned a bit as well!

Awesome kayak adventure - We had a perfect day to be out on the water and saw plenty of wildlife close up such as manatees and dolphins and birds of prey. Susie, our guide was the best! She was very knowledgeable and has a great personality for being a guide and I would highly recommend booking here on a tour. She even takes pictures for everyone and they are really good quality and best of all free to download via google pictures.
