Very good
Very cool, Lance was very informative, we learned a lot. I felt very safe, Lance assured us as a martial artist he would punch a shark and/or alligator to save us. Also he saved us from drowning after we crashed into big pile of barnacle rocks. It was very harrowing. 10/10 would go again.

Great time on the water
Girls trip to Clearwater and we booked a last minute kayak activity. We had a great time! Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and experienced. Most of the girls on the trip had never kayaked before and the instructor explained everything in detail and helped when needed.

What a workout! But thoroughly enjoyable. Great guide gave us a little history of area and shared knowledge of local creatures.

Bird Island Tour
This was a very fun tour. Kayaking is a bit of a workout at time but our guide made sure we took breaks. We got to land on an island filled with all sorts of birds and collect really cool shells. We went at 5pm-7pm which was perfect in terms of the temperature and UV index.
Operator response
So glad you had a fun time out there! Bird island is always a highlight, and we love that the timing worked out perfectly. Come back anytime!

Disappointing excursion
Based on the description of the excursion , was expecting to see more marine wildlife since the tour guides “know all the best spots” we mainly spent our time looking at snails, shells, and crabs on a little island near bird island.
We spent most of our time trying to play catch up to the rest of the group as we are less experienced.
Based on the photo in the advertisement we expected clear water , we had anything but that.
Kyle , our guide , was nice and decently knowledgeable of the shells and very eco friendly but that was about the only good thing of our experience.
Operator response
Thanks for the honest feedback, Samantha. We're sorry the tour didn't live up to your expectations. We know how disappointing it can be when the experience doesn't match what you had in mind.
Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate when it comes to water clarity and where the wildlife decides to hang out. Our guides do their best to read the conditions and put you in the right spots, but some days the animals just aren't where they usually are. We'll share your note on pacing so we can better support newer paddlers.
We're glad Kyle left a positive impression. Feel free to reach out at Tours@SeaGlassKayaking.com if you'd ever like to give us another try or talk more about your experience. We'd love the chance to make it right.
