Doug was a great guide! He had lots and lots of patience having to deal with us because we were inexperienced when it comes to kayaking.

Ethan was an amazing guide. He is in college to learn marine biology and we able to point out the local wildlife as well as tell us about them. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and paced the tour for the abilities of the guests, hanging back at times to help the smaller kids. Mike's equipment is secund to none. The hobie pedal kayaks are so simple to operate and even after 4 miles my wife and I felt great. We paddled with dolphins more than once on the tour. We're going to be back in the area again in October and December and will definitely grab another trip.
Favorite thing on my trip to Naples
