Kosta P. says,

"We were visiting from London and booked 2x tandem kayaks for our family. We had a wonderful experience exploring mangroves, learning about the marine wildlife and habitats. Kayaking felt like a proper mini adventure for us (total kayaking newbies). Although we didn't see any dolphins we did see manatees more than once up close and they swam right under us. It was a fantastic experience for our 7yo daughter and our whole family. We learned lots and loved it. Dan was a great tour guide with excellent knowledge and happy to answer all kinds of questions and engaged in our 7yo daughter's curiosity. HIGHLY recommend!"

Susan V. says,

"This was an amazing and fun kayak tour! Our tour guide, Dan, was the absolute best! He was fun and friendly and very knowledgeable about the whole ecosystem there. We had such a great time. We even got to see some dolphins. This is going to be on our must do list for all future visitors."

Sara C. says,

"Dan was the BEST tour guide and the tour was so much fun. We are adding this to our list of placed we take our friends that come to visit, for sure!! The mangroves were beautiful, the mullet fish were hilarious, and we even got to see dolphin up close. I would have had a blast even without the dolphins, so they were a nice bonus. Thank you so much Dan for such a great time!!"

Myranda C. says,

"My family and I just got done with a kayaking tour, and Dan was GREAT! We had a blast, great dolphin encounters! Very educational! Dan was patient (I'm legally blind) and funny as heck! We plan to take our family when they visit specifically to tour with Dan again!..."

Yeet H. says,

"Excellent tour and we spotted many manatees! Dan is a great guide and this is our preferred trip for our visitors. The mangrove maze at the beginning is fun and then going out into the open sea was a lovely change of scenery. Highly recommend!!"
