Fantastic Trip!

We had a great time on our island tour! The morning spot was great since it wasn’t too hot yet and there weren’t too many other boats out so not a lot of waves to fight as you’re kayaking. The kayaks were comfortable and our guide, Allie, was awesome! She helped get us back into our kayak after each stop, catch crabs, and was patient while we tried to find our rhythm (still searching for that unfortunately lol).

Anna Marie Island Tour with Jackson

The Anna Maria Island Tour was perfect! Jackson was an awesome guide who made sure our family of 4 had an exceptional experience. We saw manatee, crabs, conch, and many egret that stood so close to us. Jackson had a great knowledge of the area and was very interactive with our group. Great value for this trip! Many fun memories we will treasure! ☀️🙏🙌🏖️

Great but a little misleading title

We had a wonderful time and the guides were great. They provide all that you need from life vest, mask, snorkel, waters and water bag. Found spider crabs, live sand dollars (can’t take anything alive), and saw dolphins and manatees. Title is a little misleading as thought one of the stops was doing shelling on an island but we didn’t “tour” or go to any island (just kayaked in intercoastal and snorkeled on sandbars near an island in the intercoastal).

Great experience

Our experience was amazing, and our instructors Ally, Kai, and Jackson were great! Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and recommendations. We found shells, sandollars, and crabs. Even seen manatees, dolphins and caught a ray jumping out of the water from the island. Highly recommend!
