Great kayaking thru mangroves - Great experience! We got up close and personal with some dolphins and learned a lot about the area. Our tour guide Raven seemed to know everything about the area we were in and the animals we encountered and her partner Brianna was amazing too! Highly recommend!!!

Great Adventure into Nature - Easy to book we saw the trip on the internet and booked, arrived in plenty of time for the 0900 Expedition. We were fully briefed on dos and don'ts and set off up the river seeing Ospreys and Cormorants and having a chat about the Tampon Springs Greek history and sponges. We were lucky enough to see a Dolphin close up and paddled through the mangroves for more natural history. Raven our guide was very safe, very knowledgable and a great companion for our 2 hr trip. We would recommend this adventure.

Fun Adventuring on the River! - Spring was an amazing guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the river. Instructions were clear and she took her time checking in with our small group to make sure everyone was having fun and felt safe.

Great pelican viewing! - Spring was a great tour guide! She knows a lot of history as well as ecology of the area! Great tour of the mangroves and saw lots of pelicans hanging out in them which was great! Kayaks easy to maneuver. Went in the morning and the waterways were peaceful. Would definitely recommend and may be back before vacation is over.

Very Uncomfortable Kayak - The guide Spring was very nice. The clear kayak was very uncomfortable. Your literally sitting on the bottom of the kayak with a clipped in back support. There's no foot supports to help you paddle, so your using just your shoulders/arms. If you have any hip problems, this is not the kayak for you. My hips were hurting so much after the 2 hr paddle, I couldn't wait to get out. Even the guide switched from sitting to kneeling on a pad on her kayak, that's how uncomfortable. it is! Sit on your kitchen floor for 2 hrs & see how you feel. You couldn't see anything through the clear kayak, it was all brown, so that type of kayak was useless. I kayak alot so not my 1st rodeo. Will never kayak with this type again. As far as what we saw. A few birds & boats. We only did 1 short paddle through the inside mangroves, otherwise we were on the outside of the mangroves. Not much to see & choppy waters.
