We had an amazing morning with Mark as he guided us through the bay, mangrove forests and tunnels. We saw a dolphin, sting rays, puffin fish, jellyfish varieties, bird varieties, so much wildlife, more than any other tour we’ve done. Mark has a vast knowledge of the wildlife along with historical knowledge of the area. You will not be disappointed!

This is an absolute must for anyone who loves nature and wants to explore the waters off the Florida east coast. We went in the 4 hour tour. Our guide, Mark, was extremely knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time pointing out things of interest. We saw several types of jellyfish, starfish, sea slug creatures, spotted pufferfish, and - manatees! It was an incredible day! I highly recommend that if you are in the area to make a reservation for a tour. Worth every penny!

Fantastic kayak tour!! We took the mangrove 4-hour tour with our two kids (7 and 9). It was easy to find with lots of parking space and toilets in the park. We had one large kayak with 2 seats and paddings on the floor for the kids, it was very comfortable.
Mark took us on a great tour, taking time to show us the wildlife and explaining as we went. We got to see manatees, different jellyfish, starfish, ragged sea hares, ospreys, green and blue herons… that was a fun and educational tour!
We dreaded having to paddle back, so the kayak motors were a godsend! Very easy to steer, it was so relaxing.
We’ll definitely return, this is probably the best kayak tour we’ve ever joined!

I want to say this is an amazing tour, we were blessed to see a dolphin family up close enough to touch them and it was a Momma, Poppa and new baby. We followed them in the canoe Mark allowed us to use for about 30 minutes. No matter what, take your camera or phone to take pics as we could have gotten way better video's and pics than Mark did as we were literally on top of the family of dolphins. Mark has learned the area and has given us some good information on local historical sites. We took our towels even though Mark said they would get wet, they didn't and thankfully we did as we placed them over our legs and avoided getting burned. Please wear protective clothing from the sun as it is hot and the trip is long to be out in the sun. Wear hats and prescription glasses work well to see the creatures in the water. We saw puffer fish, jelly fish (upside down) and many other types of fish which I don't know the names of them all. The mangrove swamps are really pretty and a good way to see little creatures like the tree crabs. Mark was always teaching us how to row and which direction to move to to avoid sand and get strung out. He was very much like a protective parent. Bring lots of water in a cooler box as it really gets hot out there. I tan easily and have a skin that is good in the sun but still my shoulders got very burned, so please be careful to wear protective clothing which you can put on and take off to swim and carry a waterproof bag for extra clothing, towels, sunscreen, glasses and phone or camera. We did not actually get wet in the canoe but only when we jumped into the water close to a sand bank. The water was really warm and comfortable to swim in. Mark was a lot of fun to talk to and get to know. Thanks Mark for a memorable trip.

We enjoyed seeing the dolphins & manatees and getting to meet Captain Mark, he was most knowledgeable about the Mangroves and local wild life and definitely has a passion for what he is doing, a bit of a perfectionista, but all in all good fun and quite relaxing.
