5.00Kevin took us on a wonderful guided tour of the area. The kayaks were comfortable and easy to maneuver. Kevin was so knowledgeable about the birds and fish in the area. He also found a beautiful and big lightning whelk. We enjoyed half an hour exploring the beach collecting shells. The tour was not rushed and we felt totally relaxed. It was a wonderful experience.
Great morning for a kayak ride. Our guide was excellent- knew the area and the birds we encountered along the route

5.00Joey, the owner, was great in communicating with us prior to the trip. He’s a fun, easy-going guy! Tour was great. Our guide was Kevin. He shared a lot about the wildlife, the mangroves, and how hurricane Ian affected things down there. Kayaking was fun. Got to see two dolphins up close as they headed out from the bay to the ocean. Finished the tour out on the beach where we got to see a ton of birds and do some shelling. We had a great time.
Great Experience
