This is one of the best things to do in Sarasota at night with your friends or loved ones - Brandon the guide was awesome. Spending time with my daughter on this tour will never be replaced as it was incredible. It's one of the most peaceful things anyone can do.

Exceeds Our Expectations for a Natural Experience! - Met Colton Greaser one of the lead guides at a Rest Stop. He was assisting another group just leaving and took time to share his vast knowledge with us! Went out of his way to show us the natural features of the area and details of the wildlife! If we could have hired him as our guide for the day - We surely would! His educational background with multiple college degrees is very impressive. We learned more in the 20-minutes with Colton than we ever could have reading articles or searching the internet! His "passion" is nature and Yellowstone Park! Thank you Colton we really appreciate you and your time with us! I'd highly recommend anyone considering hiring a tour guide to contact Colton for money well spent!

Kayak exploration - We took th sunset tour, so no led lights. Our guide was very informative about the mangrove trees and the birds. We saw some stuff under the boat, but take the night tour with the lights...I'm sure it will be far better.

unfortunate weather - I did not get the chance to attend my kayaking trip due to strong currents. We were really looking forward to this activity because we have used the starkeys in st Pete. Unfortunately, my trip got cancelled 2x due to strong currents. I may not understand where we would be kayaking but I took a kayak trip this morning through a different company and it was beautiful.

Perhaps a scam!! - Well. Let me see !! NOTHING!!! We waited there for 30 minutes along with another group that was going on the same trip. And NO ONE showed up at the location they said to meet at !!! This was a surprise birthday present for my husband and the surprise was on is !!! Also every number that I could use to call or text no one answered or helped me. Very disappointed and upset !
