Very fun & beginner-friendly - Jessica was a great guide - shared a ton of interesting info & good sense of humor. Our kids (8 & 10 y/o) were 1st time kayakers and had no trouble in a tandem w/ my wife & myself. It was really cool navigating thru the mangroves, including some pretty tight paths. Highly recommend this tour, regardless of kayak experience level.

Must do! - This was amazing! Booked it for the first full day of our vacation, and it was the perfect way to start our week. Elliott was our guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystem, telling us really interesting facts about the mangroves and animal life during the trip. The kayaking was very easy; waters very calm, my 7 year old had no problem. Everyone had a blast, and the two hours flew by. Highly recommend.

The best outdoor experience in Marco - Second time on this trip, and we were not disappointed. Our guide Dylan was a pleasure to kayak with, and he offered a lot of information on the location and the animals. One of the many highpoints was the unexpected appearance of a large horseshoe crab. Our group ages are 65, 64 and 45 and we easily made it through the two hour trip. For reference, the longest continuous paddling is to and back. Once in the mangroves, there are many episodes of floating and lingering for little educational talks and time to explore the waters. Having a naturalist as a guide adds a lot of value to the experience. Can't wait to return next year.

Kayaking with grands! - Very nice day! Communication from booking until reservation time was courteous and prompt. Excellent equipment and so nice to just hop in kayak. What really made the day was Dillion, our guide. Super nice and easy to talk to. Our grandkids had lots of questions and he happily provided them. Very knowledgeable of the areas we visited. Great time.

Kayaking the mangroves - Dillion, the guide was awesome! He spent a lot of time showing us all the different species in the mangroves. He was fun and easy going. The kayaking was amazing. I loved going in and out of the mangroves.

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!
