Top notch kayak tour/rental company. Booking a breeze.. good communication with Nicole pre-tour. Jeff was our guide. He was very informative and fun. Water at Don Pedro State park is easy to paddle and filled with aquatic life, birds and interesting vegetation. Fabulous way to share some Florida sunshine with guests! Will continue to come back!

This tour is fun and educational. And you get a little workout too! Danny made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Would definitely do it again but now that I know I can just rent the kayak for a half day and go solo.

What an amazing tour. My daughter and I went recently and had a blast. Mark, our guide was very knowledgeable of the ecosystem in Lemon Bay. We got to hold and touch marine animals. it was such both a relaxing and fun paddle boarding experience. We will definitely do it again next time we come back.

We had a fun and information loaded morning kayaking and paddle boarding with our guide, Mike. This is not just a paddling excursion but also a naturalist guided tour of Florida’s west coast. Mike pointed out and explained plants, birds and sea life. It was a great trip!

Nicole was an amazing guide and really took time with us to share information about the Florida wildlife and water creatures. Very friendly and in depth tour. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. She guided us expertly through the mangrove tunnel and made sure we saw all the starfish. I felt very safe with Nicole and she took every precaution to keep us safe.

Our family of four had an amazing eco kayak with Nicole…the kayaks were clean and waiting for us by the water at Don Pedro State Park. The sit on kayaks were very stable , she had all the required safety gear and provided us with cold water for the paddle. Nicole gave excellent paddling instruction to two of our family members who were new to kayaking. She told us history of the area, pointed out a nesting Osprey family, Pelicans, Anhinga, Cormorants and many other birds, sea creatures including Starfish and different species of Jellyfish and described the eco system in such an interesting way. She also took us through a mangrove tunnel to a hidden lake…it was such fun! The highlight was seeing a dolphin family which put on a great show for us leaping out of the water and chasing fish. We definitely recommend Nicole and SUPS to everyone wanting a fantastic kayaking adventure!

Leader was very knowledgeable. I had a regular single kayak but friends enjoyed their clear bottom kayaks. Easy to load and unload with several stops onshore in the Bay. Try to go when it is not too windy but even when there is wind you are in a protected bay. Saw an eagle nesting and various underwaters creatures were pointed out, as well as different flora/fauna onshore.
