Had an absolute blast! - We had such a great time out at rookery! Me and my husband enjoyed the little fun facts we got to learn about the mangroves and its ecosystem as well as just chatting with our guide! Dylan is the best and gave us one of the coolest guiding experiences I’ve had in a long time! Very knowledgeable about the area and the animals and plants that call the mangroves home and he has an infectious positivity! Absolutely worth going!

TEN stars out of five! - This was a GREAT kayaking excursion! We have done this several times with another well-known company, but Rookery Bay Adventures was superior! Our guide was Dillon and he was extremely knowledgeable about the all the wildlife (in the water and the air). You could tell he loved what he was doing and wanted to ensure our group had the best experience possible. What was especially nice is the tour lasted the full amount of time as advertised. We even had the chance to get out on a sandbar at low-tide and find even more sea creatures. Hands down we would take this trip again!

Loved this trip!! Thx Dylan. - Amazing! Dylan, our guide was incredible. A wealth of knowledge, patient and read the group super well. Any time that you take a tour with others, the guide has make sure the trip moves fast enough to be interesting while not losing anyone who may not be the best paddler. Dylan nailed it! The scenery is breathtaking, the nature, mostly birds and flora was great, the kayaks and gear were in great shape and the 2 hours on the water was most enjoyable.

Valentine’s Kayak Treat - Dylan was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable kayak guide. He was was a wealth of information about the wildlife that we encountered on our tour. He actively found different types of snails and birds to show us. He also answered our questions in an understandable manner. The tour was more time and sights than expected. Would highly recommend this kayak tour!

Great kayak adventure! - We had a great 2 hour kayak tour in Rookery Bay today, with Dylan as our guide. He was an exceptionally good guide who gave us a great education about the estuary. We paddled through beautiful mangroves and he showed us some very interesting sea life. He really knew his stuff and made it very interesting and fun. The estuary and mangroves are beautiful and we saw lots of birds, such as ospreys and vultures. Our guide knew a lot about the birds and all the sea creatures. It was a great tour and I highly recommend it.
