A really fun experience

5.00We did the dolphin and Manatee tour with Ian as our guide on Sunday, April 5th. We were very fortunate to hit absolutely perfect weather before the big storm came in. Ian was delightful, engaging and informative and we had a great time with our group. Saw lots of manatees drinking from the water commas on dolphin fins. Several places pelicans eating fish and a beautiful ride through the mangrove tunnels. You'd be very lucky to have Ian as your guide. He also gave us a couple great tips on restaurants that we ate at during the week and he was spot on on all of them.
The mangrove tunnel is fun

4.00It's good to get on the water and the mangrove tunnel is cool, but there's no guarantee about seeing dolphins or manatees. Also, bring bug spray.
Great time.

5.00Jordyn is a rockstar and the tour is otherworldly. Seriously Jordyn was kind, knowledge, fun and the best guide possible. The tunnels are fascinating and the open canals are really fun to explore. This was a home run!! Thank you!!

5.00We had a wonderful morning kayaking with Holly! She was very knowledgeable about the wildlife. We immediately saw a blue heron and a dolphin. We traveled through the mangroves and she pointed out the crabs that climb the mangroves. Holly spotted and netted some mini jellyfish to show us. One of the highlights was pelican island! Highly recommend this trip!
