5.00Wonderful day kayaking. Marc was a wonderful source of information. We were fortunate enough to see dolphins and manatees! Also learned a great deal about the different mangroves and how they save our shores! Kayaks are so comfortable and spacious as well! We saw many birds and conch shells that were beautiful. We were on the water for 4 plus hours and every minute we were smiling. We will book with Marc again!
Very enjoyable and educational tour, plus dolphins!

5.00We've been on many kayaking trips, and this was most certainly one of the best. Mark's knowledge of the eco system was unsurpassed, I was never aware of the complexity of the Mangroves and their relationship to the environment until this tour. The kayaks were super comfortable with the upright seating, and the motor power back was pretty neat. It really was a great experience with a great guide and would strongly recommend.
Excellent!

5.00Mark was a phenomenal guide. He is knowledgeable and enjoys sharing his knowledge. We walked the sand bar and found several lightening welck, a queen conch, shells and a 9 leg sea star! The kayaks were very comfortable so the 4 hours went fast. We are going to do the 6 hour sometime in March.
A fun day in a beautiful setting
