Brent was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable about the mangroves it was great to learn about them. The ride was at an easy pace and he was easy to follow. The weather was perfect. We got to see 2 manatees, lots of egrets and snook, catfish, a turtle, brown and grey herring, sheepshead, Osprey it was awesome. Thank you Brent for your kindness and knowledge.

Great tour. Great guide. Well worth the money. Extremely peaceful but hard work if not use to rowing.
Thank you so much for the review! We are glad to hear you found the tour well worth it and enjoyed the peaceful beauty of the river. You’re right—while the clear kayaks offer an incredible view, paddling against the current can definitely be a bit of a workout if you aren't used to it! It was a pleasure having you out with Get Up And Go Kayaking Robinson Preserve, and we would love to welcome you back for another clear kayak adventure whenever you’re ready for another peaceful (and active!) day on the water.
We had a great time with Lindsay! She was personable and very knowledgeable about the area. The scenery was beautiful. It was a relaxing afternoon on the water.
That sounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon! We are so glad Lindsay provided such a personable and relaxing experience for you. Her knowledge of the Sarasota area really helps pull back the curtain on the hidden beauty of the preserve. There is something truly special about drifting through the scenery in a clear kayak—it turns the water into a moving window where you can just sit back and soak in the natural world. We will be sure to share your kind words with Lindsay; she’ll be thrilled to know she helped make your day so peaceful!
Our guide Lyndsey was really great. Very knowledgeable and informative. We saw lots of birds but unfortunately no sea life. Still enjoyable but if you’re looking to see sea life I now understand the Sarasota location would have been a better selection.
hank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed your Robinson Preserve clear kayak tour with Lyndsey. It’s wonderful that you spotted lots of birds and appreciated her knowledge of the local wildlife and ecosystems. While the Robinson Preserve is a freshwater habitat rich in birds and other wildlife, those seeking more sea life sightings may prefer our Sarasota location. We hope to welcome you back soon for another eco-friendly kayaking adventure!
