My daughter (12) and I had a great day with Mark and Fabia! We took the 6 hr tour which was the perfect amount of time we needed to explore the mangroves and estuary. We learned so much from Mark about the marine life (stingrays, puffer fish, jellyfish, shore birds, crustaceans, aquatic flora, especially mangroves and Austrailian Pines, etc). Mark's breadth of knowledge is remarkable and he is a great enviornmentalist teacher. Fabia is a lovely person who took awesome pictures of the entire journey. I really appreciated the special attention she paid to my daughter. The fish at our lunch stop, the legendary Little Jims, was great! They have gluten free options which was perfect since my daughter is allergic to gluten. If you are taking the journey in the summer months bring plenty of cold water as it gets very hot as the day goes on. Overall, I highly recomend this adventure with Mark and Fabia, you can not ask for better teachers/hosts.

We decided to take an adventure, while visiting my mother in Fort Pierce. Kayaking made the list, and we are so happy, we found Rivers to Ocean!! Myself, my son and mother chose the 6hr tour and were so glad we did!
From booking our trip to returning to home, Mark and Fabia were by our side making sure we were prepared with all essentials and education needed to safe navigate our way! Even when we forgot our water, they had extra to make sure we were taken care of!
They were more than just our tour guides; their genuine excitement for our experience, made our trip feel like we were spending the day with extended family! And what better way to spend the day, than in a kayak learning about and exploring firsthand the Mangroves, stingrays, dolphins, and all the nature that Queens Island preserve has to offer!!
Thank you Mark and Fabia for the Wonderful time spent! We highly recommend you get out of the water with these two for a good time spent!

It’s amazing to find an untouched slice of nature in a busy area, and this tour was it! Our guides led us through beautiful mangrove tunnels and shared fascinating facts about the area. It was so much more than we expected! The pace was easy and there was never a rush, we stopped on some sandbars and followed some dolphins for a while. The lunch break was just long enough and the return with the motors into the jungle added to the enjoyment. I highly recommend anyone looking for a day out, pick this tour!
