Joey was an amazing guide! He took us to see some really amazing places like the tunnels in the mangroves. We also got to see dolphins a few times throughout our tour. We came close to seeing a manatee but it swam away before the entire group could see him but some were able to see it and got some good pictures! Joey is very friendly and very informative about the area! Our family of four has not been kayaking and Joey was very patient while we all tried to figure out how to navigate. Would definitely recommend!!

Joey was a great guide. It was cool gliding through the mangroves. We even saw two dolphins playing amongst some piers near the end of our trip.

Was way fun with lots of fun stuff to see. The guide was friendly but a little quiet. Would have liked to have a more of a discussion on the area we were in. The dolphins we saw were cool.

Great way to spend the morning! Joey was great, and the whole family enjoyed the experience. Though we didn’t get to see a manatee, we got close to a dolphin and the kids had a blast collecting shells.

Joey was great! We had such an amazing time. He was very informative and patient . We saw dolphins and birds and also went shelling. Would definitely recommend this adventure!

Kayaked through mangrove tunnels, saw a large variety of birds that were new to us, not being from Florida, and saw a dolphin up close. No mandates though, not the fault of the guide, wild animals don't seem to keep a schedule. The guide, Joe, was knowledgeable about the animals and history of the area.
