Good company, Mike was fabulous. Relaxing time. Guide Ethan was knowledgeable and didn’t laugh at our horrendous paddling 🤣

Easy to book. Easy to find. Adjusted our ride from glass bottom to regular kayak due to water not clear enough to see anything.

Had a nice kayak tour with Nick. Unfortunately few animals what was perhaps due to the cool temperature. For this we drove an extra round through the mangrove tunnels.

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Ethan as our tour guide. We took advantage of the clear tandem kayak and enjoyed the warm morning breeze. We paddled to a beautiful quiet beach with great shelling. The mangrove tunnels added some adventure with maneuvering and they were very peaceful to sit among in between paddle sessions. We saw mullet, jack, sheephead, whelk, crabs, blue heron, several variety of pelican, osprey and a beautiful pink rare spoonbill! Ethan kept us comfortable and safe the entire trip. We highly recommend this tour and Ethan as a guide. It was a beautiful day and memorable experience !
