Keith was a wonderful guide. We saw manatees, nurse sharks, crabs, lobsters, a lot of fish, and had a great time!

Benjamin_S

Overall this was a pretty great trip and experience. The mangrove kayaking is really awesome and just being out of the water was a lot of fun. We didn't see any manatees though and it was never discussed as a possibility once we got there. We did get to see some other wildlife.

David_W

Our guide Susan was a lot of fun. Very informative. Also got to see a Manatee. The staff was very helpful

Amanda_B

We had a great time on this tour, definitely the highlight of our trip. Keef was a great guide, he brought us to some awesome spots where we could swim and look at wildlife. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Vicki_H

There were 10 adults, and we all had a great time. two of the couples tried tandem kayaks, which they called "Divorce Kayaks" because it takes a lot of teamwork to get them to move properly. No one got a divorce.

Sue_M

Ducking down to keep from hitting the mangrove branches was super cool and challenging. We would do this again!

Great tour, Britney is a fantastic guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. She took lots of pictures for us which was great! Unfortunately no manatee for us :(

Dylan_F

Great tour. Didn't see any manatees unfortunately. Definitely put on sunscreen on top of your legs. And you get a small window to go in the water, which is fine.

Tom_G

Seeing and learning about the wildlife. Kayak Jack was informative and fun! Easy water to navigate, didn’t get wet!

Kyle V

Jack spent the time to teach us about the Florida ecology and guide us through the maze of mangroves. An amazing time for an afternoon trip. Even got to see a manatee!!
