Our tours are geared towards first time and new paddlers. We go at your speed so you don't have to worry about going out and getting exhausted. Grab a friend and come along for a unique adventure on the #1-rated Eco-Tour through the mangrove ecosystem. Choose your kayak - single or double - and glide in our shallow clear water over sponges, grass beds, and sandy patches. Looking down, you might see a small nurse shark, turtle, or stingray, or can observe dolphins and manatees. Above water, herons, pelicans, and ospreys settle on the mangroves and hunt for fish. While there are no guaranteed wildlife sightings, we always see something cool in this one-of-a-kind estuary ecosystem that starts right outside the back door of our shop.

This was my first time kayaking. As a solo traveler and a senior citizen, I was concerned about getting in and out of the kayak. Our guide, Tony, was so helpful. It was no problem! The experience of kayaking through the mangroves turned out to be the highlight of my vacation.
Great Tour!

We had fantastic instructions and such a fun paddle through the canals and mangroves!! Single double or triple kayaks and paddle boards were offered to use. And we went with a double with my 5 year old in the front! Relaxing and interesting and really just a ton of fun, I could not reccomend the experience enough!!! Our tour guide was Rob and he was fantastic!! A ton of fun with great little bits of information through out!! He was a hit with my 5 year old too! We saw a bunch of fish, and jellyfish, and we were worried we wouldn't see any manatees but they decided to show up towards the end and surprise us! Love this trip and loved our guide!! Thanks a bunch for the trip and all the pictures you captured of our little adventure!! 10/10 would reccomend to anyone in the area!!!
