Cool Kayaking experience

5.00It was a great experience kayaking with our guide, Jordan. She’s very knowledgeable and from the area which was super cool. The mangrove tunnels were probably the highlight of the trip. Winds kicked up on our return back to the dock so it was a challenge for us as novice kayakers.
Don't worry easy...

5.00If you have any questions before the tour you can text them. They were quick to respond and put my concerns at ease . I had never been kayaking before and I had no problems manuvering. If it's going to be cold bring a towel for sure! You can expect to get wet just from the water run off from your paddle. Remember that there are no guarantees to see certain wildlife. We saw two dolphins, but it was too cold for manatees. There were lots of birds throughout the journey. The tunnels still made it a super cool experience though. Enjoy your time on the water! I was in a small group with only two others and the guide. It was a super chill vibe. Loved the experience.
Excellent kayaking experience

5.00Had a great time kayaking in the mangroves. Kaleb was a great guide with lots of knowledge. We saw dolphins, lots of birds including osprey and a really cool tree crab. Kayaking through the narrow sections was my favorite part. I recommend this trip.
Hiding from the wind in the beautiful mangroves

5.00This was a great way to hide from the late November wind and see some sea life. We saw several dolphins and sea birds but the manatees were hiding. Holly was great and the mangroves are beautiful
