We had a great time exploring the mangroves! Saw some wildlife, a turtle and nurse shark. We were un guided and it was just fine, make sure you take the map and dont get lost in the mangroves!

The guide/staffs are very nice, considerate and supportive. The route is challenging, the exit of mangrove is small and hidden.

Another great day on the water.
My wife and I have kayaked here several times. We had another great time. Great staff, very easy to get going. Take your time and you'll see a variety of wild life. when your done, grab lunch next store. Excellent sea food for catch of the day.

A nice mangrove paddle.
A really nice paddle through the mangroves. We did this two years ago and came back again. Nice to do it without a group.

Near a busy highway. Not that much to see. Conditions weren't great for paddling that day, not the tour companies fault

Nice day on the water
We enjoyed gliding around the mangroves. We saw a few cool fish and fun buggy froggy looking creatures. A guided tour might have been more informative. The currents weren't in our favor so our trip wasn't as long as planned.
C
An amazing experience
The staff was amazing. Very helpful. I was thankful for the map but I think it could be a little better. We found man groves but honestly I have no clue if we were in the right spot. We had a great time and we made it fun and perfect. Thanks so much
E
There’s lots of wildlife, we loved it!
My husband and I used a two seat kayak and saw beautiful mangroves and wildlife even though it was partially cloudy and a bit chilly! The map was helpful and so was my phone to see where we actually were on the map! Two thumbs up! Bret was very helpful and friendly!
