I never got to do this activity. I couldn’t make it and when I called to try to reschedule they didn’t even pretend to be sympathetic. Really poor customer service. Since then I’ve done this tour twice with another local company which was cheaper and offers a way better customer service.

Erin was great and showed us the local animal life. No manatees today but we did see a gator and a dolphin. We had only made the reservation a few hours in advance, so we're grateful they were able to accommodate us.

Adrina was a fantastic guide today as we saw manatees, dolphins, and more! An extremely knowledgeable guide with a fun personality! Loved being able to stop at an island and jump into the water on a warm sunshiney day. We saw many sea birds and even some crabs and a jellyfish. Super relaxing day we can’t wait to experience again!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, experienced, and patient with us. First time kayakers, it was a great experience. We saw dolphins, but experienced manatees up close and personal.

Great fun, We were able to see manatees, dolphins and even a baby alligator. I was concerned about bugs but we did not have any problems. Nice park near by to eat a picnic lunch and change out of our wet clothes.

The guide was very knowledgeable. We saw many dolphins and some manatees. The best thing was we weren't rushed as the 2 hours was more than enough time for our tour.

Our guide was very friendly. Extremely knowledgeable of all the wildlife and local fauna. Saw Dolphin, Manitee, Blue heron, Green heron, Osprey and Horseshoe crab. Great day on the water. Thank you Calypso Kayaking.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour before we got far due to weather. But, the tour guide was great. very kind and informative. If the weather would have been a bit calmer I'm sure it would have been a blast. We were offered a reschedule or refund.

Great experience, the guides were so full of knowledge and truly pleasant, made the experience very unique! Not much to see Manatee or Dolphin wise but we understand that is totally hit or miss. ****I also wanted to leave feedback for our Bioluminescent night tour (which we did the night before, but can't seem to sign in to) sooooo awe inspiring! Would recommend doing it first, enjoy the stars and peaceful setting :-)

I would definitely suggest not wasting your time if you have kids with you. It says kid friendly but was not. We didn't kayak as fast as the others in our group that had two adults rowing so he told us they can't wait for us and to go back. So we had to try to turn around going against the waves all by ourselves while they went on ahead. We were not pleased to say the least. Would not recommend with kids. They did refund us though.
