Very exciting and beautiful experience!
Nathalie6/23/2021Great way to spend a few hours, learn about the area, and enjoy Florida’s splendid wildlife. We saw a manatee, dolphins, lots of birds. Scott is a great guide - extremely knowledgeable with a sense of humor. I’d definitely do this again. Highly recommended.

Dolphin siting, awesome shells, and the kids loved the birds diving for fish the entire way. HUGE tanks to Karissa for hanging with my 10 year old and I as we battled the wind in the beginning. She was more than patient and easy to talk with.
Our family will for sure return to this kayaking adventure on our next family vacation to Florida.
Again, thank you both for an awesome experience. read less

Such a great experience and the highlight of our trip with our 19yo son. The Mangrove tunnels are magical! Now we’ve learned to kayak we want to go out on our own next time.

I was warmly welcomed by Scott and Karissa, who were experts at drumming up friendly conversation with the group as people showed up to get going. They did an amazing job keeping everyone together even though we were a large group of people ranging widely in age and ability. We got to see dolphins, tons of different kinds of birds and fish. Scott blew me away with how knowledgeable he is about this area, not just about wildlife but the history of the surrounding architecture and geographical features. A total win and so glad I decided to do this last minute! Thanks for a great trip! Also for those with kids - this is suitable even for young kids (I would definitely have taken my 2, 4, and 6 year old). You get to go sea shell hunting, swimming, play on the beach at Shell Key, and kayak. Kids can go tandem (can do 1,2 or 3 to a boat depending on needs). read less Robyn Kondrad1/01/2022Great kayak experience What a wonderful place to kayak. Shell Key was beautiful.

Scott and Karissa were excellent guides. Not only did they give us a lot of information about the wildlife we were seeing, but also the area, history, good places for lunch etc. When a group starts having good conversations and sharing personal stories that is the sign that the guides have done their job making everyone feel comfortable. We were lucky and saw Dolphins 3 times - loved watching how fast they would swim chasing fish. It was awesome! Karissa got a video and was so nice to share with me (promptly at that). I had some hesitation getting out of the kayak with my knee issues (visit with ortho doc after this trip). Scott helped me out of the kayak every time - so that was much appreciated. Also the area has shallow waters for those who have fears of kayaking or water in general. I would highly recommend this tour. read less L. C. Widner11/01/2021
