A must-do eco tour! - Thank you so much, Julie! We had an incredible private tour... we would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Julie is the owner and is so knowledgeable about all the marine life in area. She was also very patient with us, two inexperienced kayakers! We saw stingrays, a beautiful great blue heron, the oyster beds and so many other things up close, and it was so interesting to learn about how man and the hurricanes have affected local marine life and the mangroves. This is a don't miss experience for anyone interested in an eco-tour vs. the hustle and bustle of the beach scene.

A must do activity while in or near Tarpon Springs! - Julie is great! She is super knowledgeable about all things flora and fauna for the region; we learned so much. She also gave great recommendations for where to stop for lunch and baked goods in the nearby Greek village. The paddling was very doable for any age (preteen and older).

The most informative eco sunset kayak tour! - Julie was an excellent eco tour guide! Thanks to Julie’s local fauna knowledge, we were able to enjoy being amongst friendly dolphins, flamingos, sandpipers, egrets and even tiny night bats. Also, a great shelling experience, but recommend you wear water shoes.

Kayaking feedback - Our guide was late to arrive, which meant nothing was set up. She did keep us longer at the end to make up for the very late start. She was knowledgeable but hard to hear if you were not one of the first two kayaks by her.
