5.00We tried a few different tour companies in the area and this was by far the best. Skip the clear bottom boats, you don't actually see much through them and they are uncomfortable to paddle in. Our guide was great and funny. We saw dolphins, and had Manatees pushing and nuzzling our kayaks. Amazing experience!
Great time! Safe, educational fun!

5.00Joe was a great guide who patiently guided our group through the calm, shallow waters of the lagoon. He took very good pictures of us on the tour. We’re enjoying the photos shared within our group and the memories that go with them.
Yes you can Kayak. Just call Eyden.

5.00Kayaking with Joe as our guide was very pleasant. Our guide was knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and identified the local flora and fauna as we paddled along. We had a great relaxing experience.

5.00We had a great time today with this tour! Jordan was great! She was very pleasant and easy going! Both my husband and I are 70 and had only been kayaking one time before many years ago! The mangroves were challenging but loved being in the tunnels! Jordan was very patient with us! We saw ALOT of manatees which was awesome! Thank you for a great tour!!!
Beautiful & Peaceful!

5.00We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Joe was very good. We got to see some manatees and lots of birds. He gave us a tutorial on kayaking even tho we had kayaked before we learned about stopping and turning. We fell out of our kayak which was always a possibility. Joe did his very best to help me (an overweight under exercised woman) back in. Somehow we got it done thanks to Joe. It was not his fault at all, it was mine. If you are out of shape and overweight it's probably not for you. But we still enjoyed the trip and the water and wildlife & fauna was so beautiful & peaceful.
