Jewel of a tour

5.00It was an awesome kayak tour and we were lucky enough to see dolphins all around us!! The guide was quick to point them out n explain how they interact with people. We went thru the mangroves and observed the various native creatures that reside there. Then we paddled to the gulf and beached the kayaks, walked n swam! 🤗 It was truly a wonderful experience and the only improvement I could (and did) suggest to Joe is to have his guide paddle board with a mic. If you weren't really close to him you would miss the narrative. I would def go again!
Fantastic experience....

5.00Kevin did a great job - very informative and not a tough paddle. They were ready and all set up for us when we arrived, saw a bunch of local birds (no dolphins but an earlier tour saw some). Stopped at Little Hickory Island and shelled for a bit. Very easy to find and great communication beforehand. Thanks Kevin!
A great family experience.

5.00Kevin was knowledgeable and a great guide. He took us to a great shelling area. The trip was just the right amount of time, not too long, not too short.
Just do it!!
