We had such a great time fishing with our family. Caught over 100 fish including snapper, grouper, blowfish and barracuda. Definitely worth the trip - highly recommend it. The crew was awesome, super friendly and brought us to all the right spots to catch fish!

    Totally enjoyed it

    Nick was a wonderful guide through the maze of mangroves and the bay. Stopping for shells on an island gave us a nice break to rest our arms and swim. Totally enjoyed it
    Fantastic!

    Nick was a FANTASTIC guide! He was knowledgeable and experienced. We also very much appreciate how they messaged us explaining the time we picked was not a good time to go that morning after seeing water conditions, which was very much appreciated.
    Kayaking is Cool

    Great experience. Learned a ton about the environment and it was perfect for even entry level kayakers. Definitely recommend!
    All the fun you can imagine!

    Great two hour tour! Hannah was a wonderfully informed eco-guide. We even got to stop at an amazing shell beach. Don’t forget a camera!
    Fun and educational activity

    Hannah was absolutely wonderful. Friendly and witty. All 8 of us enjoyed our excursion and was the favorite activity of the trip
    Awesome time for family and kids

    Hannah ruled. Super friendly and knowledgeable. She told us everything we needed to do and was perfect guide. It was especially nice to see her interact with my 6 year old son and his rampage of questions about all bird and fish life. She was patient and helped look and point out all the cool stuff going on around us.

    We had a great time on this trip! Our tour guide, Hannah, was very chill and super informative about the local wildlife. She even did a head stand on her paddle board! This is a very family friendly option, as we did this tour with our three year old granddaughter and our pregnant daughter in law. 10/10 definitely recommend!
    Fun and chill experience in nature

    We had a great time! My husband and I went on this excursion as part of our babymoon. Seth was very chill and friendly. We ended up being the only ones signed up for our time slot so we got a private tour and took it slow. Did not see any manatees, but we did see a dolphin from afar, and many different types of birds. We also learned a lot about shells! I am over 6 months pregnant and was able to easily participate.
    Hannah and Seth were...
    Oscar_P, Aug 2025
    Hannah and Seth were absolutely great! Hannah is very well educated on the local wildlife and kept everyone engaged through the entire tour! They insisted on moving the kayaks and made everything as easy as possible for all of the groups on the tour. I would do this again during a time that the water is higher so it’s possible to see manatees. Overall a great experience and I am glad that we booked this!
    Amazing

    OMG- Hannah our guide was so knowledgeable about all the wild life. She was so in to what she was doing it was very enjoyable. We’ve done many tours and she was the top best. We got to see a stingray and manatee with her baby. This was Absolutely a top adventure and Hannah made it that.
    Loved this experience

    100/10 Recommend this outdoor activity!
    Francisco_C, Aug 2025
    Was guided by Nick. Very cool guy gave us information on wildlife along the way and was very helpful on navigating the routes. Led us to a small island and showed us some shells and facts about the shells I didn't know about. Gave us facts of the mangroves to which was cool to learn. 100/10 recommend taking the guided if you're a first timer kayaker or just want to know more about the wildlife and objects in the area.
    Great Kayak Tour
    Justin_G, Aug 2025

    Great kayak tour

    Great way to spend your morning. Nice blend of light activity and exploring and learning about the marine and mangrove forests life. We stopped and took a swim at a great beach full with sea shells.
