The place was great, the staff was friendly nice and helpful. If we were only renting please use them. However the tour wasn’t that good. It was open ocean channel where I thought it would be inlet. We did see dolphins at a distance but wished we would of gone into Merritt island tour.

Barb M

Very knowledgeable guide and super friendly. Beautiful mangrove and plus we were able to watch a shuttle launch from the water

JorgeM_B

The Guide das friendly and knowlegeable. The attitude of the company not. We arrived 10 minutes before time (10:00). Were told we should have been there at 9:45 and the group had left. Moreover no transportation was provided to anyone from meeting point to embarkation site. A 18$ Uber ride esa necessário to move fronteira one to the other. Finally, we did not see manatees and were told that seeing them is chancy - less than 50% of times… the mangrove was beautiful and we did.see a dolphin though. Frustrating but not entirely

Our party had a nice time and the guide was good. Unfortunately we didn’t see any wildlife except for a couple of cool birds. No one’s fault, just disappointing. But we got a good arm workout and enjoyed a beautiful day on the water.

HMichael_L

The dolphins we saw and two manatees swimming along. The guide was very knowledgeable about all the birds and water conditions.

Denise C

It was nice and relaxing. Unfortunately we didn’t see any wildlife other than birds and jumping fish, but our guide was very knowledgeable and it was a perfectly calm day. We would definitely do it again!

Ali L

We had a great time with Christa! She was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The dolphins and manatees weren't cooperative, but we did see a rat snake slithering across the mangroves, so wildlife goal accomplished! Word to the wise: SUNBLOCK AND BUG SPRAY!! We had to end a little early because everyone was getting eaten alive and my poor boys are covered in welts from the many mosquitos. Regardless, it was a fantastic trip!

Just wanted to thank our guide John. He was very knowledgeable about the area, ocean life and water safety. Hope to be back next year. Joe & Melanie Albuquerque NM

Had a really special and unique morning with Celina our guide. Saw a hunting dolphin and the Osprey feeding off the stunned fish left by the dolphin, all us close. No manatees today, but not their time to show I guess. This is far better than any rollercoaster ride. Learn about the lagoon, ecology and lots more. Horses and camp fires !
