Great tour - We had a great experience with Dylan as our guide. He was fun, knowledgeable and very helpful. We learned a lot, had a lot of laughs, saw some cool birds and sea critters and got some exercise. We had a great time and would definitely recommend.

Last minute excursion - We booked last minute for a kayak tour. Dillon was our guide. I informed him I was a nerd and would love all the info he could share. He hit the mark. It was a peaceful kayak trip through the mangroves. We even got to get out and look for sealift on the shallow sandbars

Amazing- don’t miss this - Dylan was extraordinary! Engaging, helpful, funny, and wise! We saw dolphins, birds, and so much more! I learned about the importance of mangroves and the differences between the shellfish. A biology lesson but in the sun and in a really fun way. Paddling was easy and my entire family loved this- one of our favorite experiences on the island!

Jan 2025 Kayak Mangrove Ecotour - We spent several days in Naples (January 2025). We booked the kayak mangrove ecotour tour in Rookery Bay Reserve. It was a morning tour and our guide was Elliot. This was one of the better "mini-adventures" that we have booked on our various vacations. It was a small group of myself, wife, and teen, plus tour guide. It lasted 2 hours and you paddle 75% of the time; at a reasonable pace. You don't have to be an athlete to participate. It was very fun, interesting, and educational. Worth to price. Would do it again.

Beautiful, relaxing, and informative! - This was our second trip and we saw things we didn't see the first time. The preservation always has more to see. Our guide Jessica was fantastic! She was so friendly and informative we leaned so much. Its good to know the mangroves have caretakers like Jessica and her teammates!
