Bethany was personable and knowledgeable, and clearly had safety as a priority. I hoped we would have paddled further, however, that day a cold front with strong winds was moving in and it seemed like they kept us closer to “home” and sheltered in the mangroves.

We took the 10:00 a.m. tour with Heather last Sunday. It was very informative and fun! The pace was perfect and Heather was great at explaining the history of the area and also about the fish, mangroves, and other sights we saw. She was attentive to everyone in our group from the experienced kayakers to those who were “rusty” at it; and those that had never kayaked before.

Loved our experience with Brett. He was a great guide and very knowledgeable, he also made sure we took our time and that we weren’t going to damage any of the surrounding sea life. He was hands on in finding the sea life that we could hold.
