This 3 Hour kayak tour was just the perfect amount of time to relax, get away in quiet beautiful settings and enjoy nature with awesome sweet friendly fun guides Cameron and Ashley. The highlight was the manatees coming right up to our boat!

This is a wonderful experience for all ages and I would recommend it anyone who enjoys being out in nature. The guides were very knowledgeable and shared lots of information on the wildlife and sea life all around us. They even stayed out extra time with us to find manatees, we ended up seeing 3 of them. We also spotted dolphins, many different birds and lots of different shells along with countless fish, it was fantastic and would go on another tour with this outfit, very professional.

Great kayaking tour! Cameron and Ashley were very informative during our kayak tour through the mangroves. They had all kinds of insightful info and interesting fast about the Florida wildlife. My family and I had a good time. Chilling on the beach and looking for critters in the water was fun too.

My wife, 10 year old daughter and I had great time. The guides were great and shared a ton of knowledge throughout the tour. We kayaked through mangroves, some open water, got to see a lot of wildlife and ended on a beach, snorkeling, and finding some beautiful shells.

Kayaking through the mangroves was a unique, fun Florida experience. Cameron & Ashley were great nature guides and provided a lot of information about local Florida birds, fish & water-creatures. The clear Kayaks worked well, and we also had a beach-break to relax and go snorkeling.

Highly recommend! The scenery was just beautiful. We went through the mangrove tunnels, into the bay, ad went snorkeling on a secluded beach. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable, and just overall amazing. An experience you wont forget.

Must do the next time you're in the Sarasota or Siesta Key area! As much I've traveled I've never seen the beauty of the mangroves. The guides were very knowledgeable about various marine life and animals and kept our group feeling safe and happy. The tour was the perfect amount of time.
