Such a beautiful morning with Jack, Mike and Tyler! They were each so patient with us as first time paddle boarders, never rushed us and certainly made us feel comfortable! They were careful to point out all types of birds, and carefully got us close to both dolphins and manatees. This team has an obvious love and respect for the area and the animals we encountered. A great way to learn to paddleboard, you’ll love it!
