We had an awesome time with Tommy and Evan. They were super helpful and went over and above to make sure that we could have a good experience. Both were super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. They also made sure we got plenty of photos to remember the experience.

The trip was fantastic! We saw manatees, dolphins, tortoise nests, a bird hatching sanctuary and a beach from Paradise. The owner/leader had a deep knowledge of the wildlife and surrounding nature. He was terrific at engaging the group and his enthusiasm kept everyone smiling.

Tommy was a wonderful guide for beginners and a customer who was nervous out on the water. I would definitely kayak with him again! It was a cloudy day but we got to see about 5 manatee anyway!

Amazing experience!! We had the best time and got to see a manatee, dolphin, and beautiful views! Our tour guide Tommy was wonderful - friendly, helpful, and shared so many interesting facts about what we were seeing around us. He took pictures/video of everything and shared with us after the tour, so we could just enjoy the tour. He even provides support for first-time kayakers - so no excuses not to go. Highly recommend including this in your trip if you are in the Anna Maria/Bradenton/Sarasota area!

Beautiful beach and Tommy was awesome at sharing about hte wildlife and and the area. Would've liked to see manatees, but we enjoyed the beach and kayaking nonetheless. Highly recommend this and this guide. He recommended a cove in a nieghborhood where the mantees hang out and we did indeed get to view them there. So grateful for this added info. It was amazing.
