Fun day on the water

Had a great time out on the water, going through mangrove tunnels, and swimming at a sand bar. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and communicated everything we needed to know clearly.

Highly recommend!!

Expirence was amazing! It was definitely worth my time. The padle kyaks made the expirence more pleasurable and a great work out with easy instructions and we had everything to keep us safe.Skye was so much fun he was a very nice person and went above and beyond to make our experience worth it. He even risked catching a stone crab and 1 point crab 0 skye because he got a good pinch. He showed us beautiful sites and was determined to meet our needs in finding different animals. No luck finding any manatees, but saw dolphins, birds, crabs, and different assortment of fish. I highly recommend his tour!

Great Experience and Wonderful Guide

Skye (our guide) was personable and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job explaining everything we were doing/looking at. The whole experience was fun, involved a lot of laughing, and we even got to learn some new things. He had a willingness to quench our curiosities and went out of his way to make the most of our time. Pedal kayaking was a fantastic experience that does require a bit of leg work, but I felt wasn’t as taxing as traditional kayaking would have been. I highly recommend booking with Liquid Blue Outfitters. You won’t be disappointed and the experience far exceeds the cost. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip.

Wonderful experience

What a great experience it was like our own private tour as there was only us two. We was out for 3 wonderful hours with the very knowledgeable Skye showing us all the wildlife. We spotted manatees, dolphins, a shark, lots of fish and birds. The 3 hours went by quickly. This was our first time and Skye was very patient telling us what we needed to do. We stopped at a sandbar to cool off but the breeze stopped us getting too hot. I really can’t recommend this tour enough. If you have got smaller children they do have a tandem kayak so this is good for that situation or limited ability. You do need some ability to be able to sit and get in the kayak which wasn’t very difficult

It was great to meet you both :) thanks Wendi, cheers!

Awesome!!

Sky was a fantastic guide. The pedaling kayak was easier for our group, rather than rowing. We went mid-week, out of Bird Key, with very little traffic on the water (which was nice). We saw Manatees up close - swimming under our kayaks. The Mangrove tunnels were great and the stop at the sandbar was really fun. Sky is very knowledgeable about the area and has a great personality- very witty. Was a good workout - about 4 miles. Would absolutely recommend this company!

Thanks for the review! I had a great time on the water with you. Nothing beats being on the water when it's so calm and flat.

Great day kayaking the intercostal water.

Great day pedaling the kayaks. Saw a lot of wildlife, including a manatee that swam right under my kayak. Sky did a great job informing us about the area, the wildlife, and giving us a great kayak experience.

Appreciate the review Alan :) Had a great time on the water with the two of you.
