Fantastic tour in the mangroves - We had a great experience kayaking on Friday! Cameron was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable and very easy to talk to about the things we were seeing on our adventure. He shared information with us about animals, fish and plants around us in a way that was enjoyable & casual but also very engaging and informative. It was a great way to spend a few hours on the water. He was also very patient with us and allowed us plenty of time to leisurely observe a very curious manatee that we saw just a few minutes into our adventure.

Great kayak experience! - This was a great kayak experience! We did this after disembarking from a cruise ship and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Cam was incredibly knowledgeable and the whole trip was very laid-back. I would highly recommend this trip!

Such a wonderful... - Such a wonderful experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide, very knowledgeable and fun. The kids absolutely loved it. We had a manatee swim with us for about thirty minutes, saw dolphins, tons of fish and birds. It was a great way to experience part of the beauty of Florida.

Erin was amazing! She is... - Erin was amazing! She is so intelligent and we learned so much on our trip, I didn't expect it to be that educational. Just thought we would go kayaking and hope to see manatees and the dolphins! Erin started off by showing us a crab she found on the tree, we saw mantees and many species of birds and fish. She knew so much about each of them too. We didn't see dolphins, but that's ok. We'd go back in a heartbeat!!
