Unforgettable experience! - Kayaking with manatees was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Island, was amazing and very knowledgeable! He handled constant questions from a 9 year old boy with ease and even added some humor!

Great experience - It was great, so glad we went. Bioluminescence was beautiful and our guide Island was fun and personable. We almost canceled the tour after a long day of traveling and poor customer service with other companies, however, Island was so much fun and completely turned our night around. Went during a half moon night and was still able to see the bioluminescence, the clear kayaks made it super easy to spot!

Was fascinating to see the bioluminescence! - We had no idea this existed and it was a lot of fun. Our guide Drew was great, very friendly, very personable and VERY knowledgeable. We went on the late tour and so didn't see lots of wildlife, but the bioluminescence was excellent, around the boat, the oars, and under the boat. We also got to catch some glowing pseudo -jellyfish and that was fascinating. Plus it was nice to be on the water when it was so quiet. Would definitely recommend it.

Fabulous time - FABULOUS! Our guide, Island, was friendly and informative. I would recommend to anyone. The clear kayaks are not as monuverable as regular kayaks, but it's cool to see tge bioluminescent underneath.

Sparkling water and stars! - Our guides were kind and informative. The bioluminescence was very cool! I loved looking at it through the bottom of the clear kayak. The night was clear so the amount of stars we saw was as amazing as the bioluminescence. I will recommend and would love to do it again sometime.

Once in a lifetime experience - Great experience! We kayaked in August. Luckily we brought our bug spray. There were lots of mosquitoes near Mosquito Lagoon. But the experience of kayaking for two hours was awesome. We did get to see the dinophagellates And the jumping mullet had gotten into some of our kayaks. It was a great experience .Gabe was our guide and he was very energetic about the whole tour!

Great company but double check location with them directly. - Traveller advice, book direct or double/triple check your booking with the company.
We booked through Trip Advsior and the ticket gave the wrong location for the tour pick up.
Consequently we were in one place (in the middle of nowhere in the dark) and the tour was taking place 30-40mins away.
Had we booked direct then we would not have had this problem or missed out on what should have been an amazing trip.
Also because we booked via Trip Advisor we couldn’t go via the company to sort things out.
I don’t want anyone else to miss out so maybe just go to them direct.

Decent night kayak tour but would have liked a better night for bioluminescence and a more balanced kayak - We only saw “sparks” of bioluminescence but that’s no fault of the guide. But I feel my kayak wasn’t balanced properly as the bow popped up a lot and made it difficult to row straight. I was in a kayak of the same size as the tandems but I was rowing by myself in the back so maybe it needed weights in the front to balance or maybe a smaller center-seated kayak like the guide had would have been better. Despite this, the guide was knowledgeable and I’m glad he tethered my parents to his kayak since they were having trouble rowing in sync.

The bugs were out. - When we were on the water- it was great. But there were sand fleas and we ended up getting bit waiting in the guides to pass out paddles and give instructions. We had over 45 bites on our legs and itched for 8 days after the excursion. Make sure you wear long sleeve pants and shirts on the evening tours

Complete no-show - On the afternoon of our trip, were contacted to sign online waivers, which was no problem, and we later received acknowledgement that they'd been received. So we assumed all was set for the trip later that day!
In the evening, we turned up at the appointed time, and the specified place (in the middle of nowhere), but it was pitch black, with nobody around. We waited for 15 minutes, but having had no message or email either saying "Where are you?", (perhaps we'd gone to the wrong place), or "Sorry we're delayed" we gave up.
48 hours later have still heard nothing at all. Very unprofessional and very, very disappointing.
