5.00We had a great time kayaking Big Hickory Pass, especially going through the mangroves. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and its history. We saw several dolphins, a skate and an iguana swimming across the channel.

5.00Perfect weather for a paddle and kayak. Joey and Kevin are amazing. We had a fabulous morning. Shelling, saw the cute nose of a manatee, Osprey, birds. My second time going out with Island Breeze. Easy to find, great equipment. The paddleboard is very stable and the seat in the kayak was comfortable. Don’t hesitate!
Great paddle!

5.00We had a great paddle with Kevin. We were in open water, mangrove "tunnels", and even went to the beach. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the area and its native wild life. We can't wait to go back again!

5.00We had a fantastic kayak trip with a guide who knew the area extremely well, pointed out special highlights (such as dolphins), and was very friendly. Their organization and guidance were excellent and highly professional.
Great time

Dumped tour.

2.00We booked the kayak tour weeks ahead of our trip. The night before our trip we got a text asking if we wanted to use single or double kayaks. When we arrived we were told that the company we booked with was full and we would be switched to a different touring company. The man who told us this was rude about it and said if we didn’t like it we could ask for a refund. We had just driven 45 min out there so we stayed. The tour was not what we had expected and was lead by an egotistic arrogant guy who was just annoying to be around who felt the need to point out I was the slowest member of the group several times. We did not have a great time and were happy when it was over. What I don’t understand is why when we were contacted the night before they didn’t tell us then that we had been dumped to a different touring company. Why surprise us with it when we arrived instead of causing confusion and anxiety when we arrived. The lack of communication was unprofessional
Great
