5.00This 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 family kayaking tour!

5.00Kayaking 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.
Amazing experience!

5.00Must 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.
