This was informative, relaxing, and beautiful! We saw lots of birds and our guide took extra time to find an upside down jellyfish.
Thank you for the review! Glad that you enjoyed the paddle.
The.Best. Ariana and her team were very accommodating, professional and intentional on all things. Our group had a wonderful time and we highly recommend this adventure!
Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate your feedback back and hope you paddle with us again soon.
This was a master class in the flora and fauna of this part of Florida. Our guide was very informative and engaging with our tons of questions about the plants, birds etc in this area. It's so great to learn of the history of this park and how the ocean ecosystem interacts with it all. If you want to be outside, get some exercise and do a deep dive on local waterline, this is the tour for you.
Than you for the positive feedback back. We are so glad that you had a wonderful time on the tour. This is the experience we strive to provide for everyone.
The guide was amazing. very patient, helping us all to get into our kayaks. She was very knowledgeable about everything and explained thing very clearly. The tour was just the right length and and a nice pace. Definitely a must do.
We appreciate your kind words. It's fantastic to know you had a great experience with us. We would be glad to have you back anytime.
Fantastic kayak tour. Guides were very informative, and they made it accessible for all levels of experience kayaking! Would recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience. We're dedicated to providing the best experiences and your feedback motivates us.
Ariana was great! She was on-time and gave great directions for our meeting point. The tour was very informative and fun. Ariana really helped me son when he was struggling with the kayak.
Thank for choosing Salty Soul Adventures. It was my pleasure. Glad I was able to help.
When I booked this Salty Souls trip, I was looking for something unobtrusive (kayaks not big boats) and informative. This trip was more remarkable than I had realized because 1. Ariana is an amazing naturalist guide willing to impart a wealth of knowledge about the special nature of this place and 2. The tour location is a county park that excludes motorcraft and is in an area unaffected by the engineering feats that have wrecked the filtering work of the mangrove ecosystem—things I didn’t know when I booked. Our small group got to paddle through the peace and wonder of this mangrove habitat, an amazing opportunity, and Ariana helped us spot plants and wildlife I would have missed. She took great pictures, too, which she shared with us—so we weren’t in danger of losing our phones forever if we dropped them in the murk! The tour helped me, a first-time visitor to Florida, appreciate the uniqueness of this special part of the country.
Thank for the kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour. We appreciate the feedback.
Nice group of people and a great guide. We learned a lot about mangroves and the conservation area. It rained but not too bad.
Thanks for coming out and paddling with us. Glad that you had a good time. We appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic and super informative tour. Ariana is superb and would book with her any time again! Even though it was a rainy day, she made the whole experience very enjoyable.
Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate your feedback back and hope you paddled with us again soon.
Such a fun experience with our five year old. We saw so many sea creatures that Ariana went out of her way to find and tell us about! Beautiful day and such a fun learning experience! Highly recommend! Ariana is so knowledgeable, was so great with our daughter, and also sent us a bunch of pictures at the end of the day. We will be back!
Thank you for the great review! Glad that you and the family had an amazing time. That’s exactly what we strive for.
