A good day with a manatee and some dolphins! - Natasha was our guide. She was great and explained what to expect. She was patient while we waited in one spot for the manatee to come visit. She had us stay for longer while the manatee kept coming around our boats so we could more of it.
The manatee went right under our boat at one point. That was fun!
We did see three dolphins too, but they were too busy to wait around for us to watch them.
All in all, a good day! Thank you!

Great experience. Larry,... - Great experience. Larry, our guide, clearly loves what he does and is a wealth of knowledge. The manatees are so amazing!

We didn’t get to go - TripAdvisor keeps wanting me to review this experience. Sadly, we did not get to go due to high winds. The company gets 5 stars for communication. They offered us to go the next night in a different location or a refund. We could not do it during the rest of our stay in the area. The refund was credited to my card the same day, no hassle.
Hopefully next time we are there we can make it happen.

Fun Vacation Experience - We had a lot of fun! The original location we were supposed to kayak in apparently had heavy winds in that area so they brought us somewhere else. We kayaked through mangroves that smelled awful. A couple of us almost got stuck in bush. It wasn’t the most pleasant location to kayak but still enjoyed ourselves.

Wow! What a fantastic family adventure! Caught a crab!!! - Wow, wow, wow! A must do! Cat and Ricky were amazing! We caught a blue crab, saw a baby shark, and a needle fish jumped in the kayak with us! My mom almost flipped us, but it was super safe, and we didn't feel scared at all. We took the 9:30pm adventure, and boy, was it a blast. We even saw a baby corn snake as we were waiting to go out into the abyss.
I would recommend wearing water proof shoes, bringing a flash light and maybe a towel to sit on. Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet and dirty. Great adventure for our family visiting from Oklahoma!
P.s. Practice rowing a kayak because we had never been before, and it was not easy. It is 1.5 hours of rowing to the canal and back, and if it gets windy, it is not easy!!

Viator is not refunding yet. Clear Kayak Tour people did everything they could to help me. - We couldn't make the tour, it was nobody's fault. For a last minute change, the tour people tried contacting me by phone and email but I didn't have a working phone at that moment. They were kind enough to accept to refund me and requested Viator, the payment company by Trip Advisor, to do so. A week later I haven't received a refund and is impossible to talk to Viator. If you are planning to take the tour contact the Clear Kayak Glass Bottom people directly and book directly, do not use TripAdvisor to book your tour. Maybe next year I can do that and enjoy what seems to be a fun activity.

First time clear kayaking - Interesting! - Communicating with these folks was not good, then at the last minute they changed the location so we ended up being late.
The clear Kayaks were interesting but they're not as clear as they're scratched up and they're not as comfortable or as easy to maneuver as others we've used.
On a positive note, Meghan & Natasha very we're nice and did a good job showing us some new fun areas. They suggested nite time clear kayaking, which could be interesting.

They sold tickets while their busines is closed - We paid full amount for 2 tickets and drove all the way to the kayak meeting point only to find out that it was closed. Why would they allow us to buy tickets for that day if they knew their business is closed. We called the service number and they apologized for selling tickets while they were not operating any kayaks that day.
Still waiting for refund. Not fair. Hope they refund full amount promptly.
