Patrick led a safe, fun and informative trip through the mangroves. Then got to see dolphins, a manatee and many cormorants. Highly recommend!

Excellent trip! It was our first time with a guided trip in the Siesta area. Previously we have been on tours in the Lido area. Jacob was our tour guide and he was awesome! The area is beautiful and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend to anyone!

We got to see a group of 7 manatees immediately after embarking! Jeff was very knowledgeable and a great guide.

Great kayak experience for all skill levels. Easy to make your reservations through TripAdvisor. Plenty of parking at the beach head where multiple kayak tours set out. Once you get started - you set off in the small intracoastal area - giving your guide the ability to assess your level of kayaking. We had one person with zero experience in our group and Javier gave her great tips and got her confidence up to expert level in no time. The water was calm - we had no problems navigating our way through the mangroves and off to the “secret beach” so we could enjoy the gulf waters. I was a little skeptical about getting out and then back in the kayak at the beach - but again - Javier made it a very easy and seamless process. Ospreys, mullets, manatees, herons and pelicans accompanied our tour. Sadly no dolphins but you never know when they may show up. Great morning kayaking experience.

Took this tour on a whim. Glad I did. Friendly and knowledgeable guide showed a novice kayaker the ropes. Great for beginners, not too strenuous ( people with shoulder or elbow injuries may have trouble paddling a solo kayak). Safe and peaceful. Learned a lot. Easy to book and free parking at a beautiful beach. Manatees swam under our kayaks, just saw bubbles. Lots of native wildlife. Did not see snakes or gators but that's OK. You will get a little wet so bring change of clothes and don't forget sunscreen.

Wow our tour guide Jacob went above and beyond!!! Awesome experience!! Jacob made sure we got photo opportunities and taught us so much about the local animals and mangroves!

Wonderful time of kayaking! Our guide, Javier, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer our questions and point out lots of neat things. We took our two children (ages 12 & 16) and they also loved it. Javier did a great job interacting with them and making them feel valued on the tour. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys being out in nature!

We had a great tour with Jacob! He shared lots of fun facts with our kids about the local birds and animals. We saw osprey and their nest and looked for manatees. We unfortunately had some low tide by the mangroves which made it hard to explore the tunnels but Jacob was great and adapted as he went to make sure we had a great experience.

Very pleasant and easy going. The stop at the beach to collect shells was a wonderful moment. Beautiful beach, for it was all natural surroundings with no restaurants or structures. Just nature. Javier was a fun and kind mannered guide.
