Ethan was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had a fantastic time at the 8:30 tour!
Amazing tour. Ethan was very nice and kept our little group together and laughing the whole time.
Had a great experience with my family. Saw manatees and other wildlife. Swam at a beautiful beach for a little while . Ethan was a wonderful tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Took photos and sent them to us at the end of the tour. Would definitely recommend!!!
Ethan was fantastic! Kind, knowledgeable young man! Made sure everyone was comfortable and took some great photos and videos for us. Had great luck with wildlife even though it was a risk for the 1:30 midday excursion. Two dolphins, five manatee, and a number of birds. The mangrove tunnel was neat. All around great experience, would highly recommend for anyone!
We’ve just had the most incredible guided tour with Doug. Such an interesting, knowledgeable guy - the perfect host!
Wonderful! Doug was amazing! Saw dolphins!
Super fun time, Doug was a great and funny dude with a lot of stories to tell. Highly recommend.
Our experience was not as expected. It was represented to us on the site and in an email that the following would be included. What we got is in CAP letters. Inclusions & exclusions Complimentary Ice Cold Waters - NO Complimentary Mesh Shelling Bag - NO Complimentary Pictures - NO Dry bags - YES Free Parking - YES High Quality Back Rest Seats - We got a kayak High Quality Carbon Fiber Paddles - We got a kayak High Quality Life Jackets Made for Kayaking - YES BUT, not even the slightest instruction on how to hold the paddle or which way The blade should face. Our guide never introduced himself to us. He lost one kayak with people from our group and when the caught up, he said "are you in this group, I didn't realize that." He was nice enough but just going through the motions...and then he wants a tip! I will try a different vendor next time.
Hey Lise, so sorry you didn’t have a good experience with us. This is not how we represent ourselves as a company. I’ve worked very hard to build this business from the ground up and this is not the experience I want you guys to have. Your guide didn’t do his job. He was very unlike himself that weekend and unfortunately received bad news about a close family member. Regardless, as guides it’s our job to be engaging with the customers and to provide the experience you’ve paid for. We do offer water and shelling bags with each trip, but he simply didn’t offer him. Each guide is also responsible for taking pictures and sharing them. Him not doing any of that is unacceptable and not to our standards. As for our equipment I will point out we did use carbon fiber paddles for your trip. One benefit of them over standard aluminum paddles is they’re lighter in weight and make the trip easier. It can be hard for a novice kayaker to see that or appreciate the difference if you’re new. You have my deepest apologies you didn’t get the experience you wanted
Great tour guide very knowledgeable about wildlife and area
Very energetic and enthusiastic guide! He knows his information on all the environment, animals and kayaking skills. We had a lovely trip and he was able to help out the youngest (17) up to the oldest (74) in the group to make it a very enjoyable experience for all involved!
