Had a great experience with these guys! Couldn’t recommend them enough! I’m adding it to my list to hit each time we go out to Florida. Thanks again guys!

Sadly we were unable to do the kayak tour due to the weather taking a turn for the worse. Rightly so, Dave couldn’t put our safety at risk with such terrible weather. Without prompt Dave tried to rearrange a new day or a refund. Unfortunately, we had to take the refund as we didn’t have anymore days of our holiday available. Maybe next time when we visit 👍🏻

Although early in the season it was still an amazing trip! Our guide took us out and it was like something from Avatar. We even got to see some Manatees!

Very disappointed as there was no bioluminescence at all to see, kayaked out to an island and back again, very boring.

The tour was good and the guys looked after us well, the meeting information was shocking … no contact from the team , the contact (Todd) we were told to ask for has not worked there for 3 years. The guys who looked after us were good …, They need to update the meeting information as we were told to look for a white van it was in fact a black truck which added to the confusion.

Jason and Lucas did a great job despite the weather not cooperating. Seas were choppy due to tropical storm effecting the area. They kept the group together and in safe areas where we could enjoy the bioluminescence. We had two kids in the group so kudos for them.
