Manny was engaging and friendly. We found a bunch of sharks teeth, and enjoyed a side of Venice that not everyone gets to see!

Manny was great!!! He made the tour fun and interesting even though it was hot. He also was able to set the right pace for a mix of experienced kayakers and beginners. We are looking forward to going again

Our kayak tour this morning with Manny was outstanding on a number of levels. It's apparent Manny loves his job and he's very engaging with each kayaker. Manny's description of the area and his knowledge of floral and fauna was enlightening. The trip itself along the picturesque ICW and Alligator Creek was beautiful! We also enjoyed our search for sharks teeth on the beach. We all highly recommend this experience, just do it!

We are a couple in our sixties and didn't want to hassle with anything just to be taken around, educated and enjoy wonderful experience that isn't so touristy but more native to Florida. Had such a great time, felt totally relaxed, in good hands with our guides Manny and Tyler who had such great energy, and most of all safe. They tailored the trip to our needs We were visiting from Southern CA and got good idea of the real FL Highly recommend kayaking the canals of Venice

Manny and Tyler were great guides and were full of a lot of local knowledge. We launched next to the South Venice Beach Ferry which was very convenient for us. They use great equipment and had a very comfortable XL Ocean Kayak for our tour. We started out in the intercoastal waterway and were lucky enough to see manatees to start. Next we did a tour of some of the canals in South Venice and then back out to the intercoastal. After crossing the intercoastal we beached the kayaks and walked over the key to the ocean side. Manny had a Florida snow shovel to sift for sharks teeth and offered to put the kayaks in the ocean front side to do some true ocean kayaking. It was pretty rough so we passed and after 2 hours made our way back to the launch. We were even lucky enough to see a curious dolphin on the way back to the launch. Overall my wife and I had a great time and would highly recommend this tour!
