5.00Our tour guide Fletcher was amazing. He was very passionate about the wildlife and his job as a tour guide. We saw manatees, dolphins and sea turtles all about while going on our tour with three brothers. I would absolutely do it again 0 hesitation, how often can you say you got to see dolphins and manatees within 10 feet of you.
Paddle boarding fun

3.00If you want to see wildlife and be in nature go to a different location. This felt like a city tour with a chance of wildlife. The advertisement pictures look like close encounters and a natural setting. Instead it was water with a few inches of visibility, boat traffic, and lots of bridges. It was a nice workout on the paddle boards and yes you might come across some wildlife passing through.
Fantastic Tour

5.00This was our second time taking this tour and it was amazing both visits. My granddaughter had two manatees swim right next to her and she was so excited. We had a different tour guide this time but he was also amazing, Thanks Dan for being such a great tour guide! We will definitely be back again.
First time paddle boarders, great experience!

5.00The experience from checkin at the store/shop to the tour on the Halifax River with Mike was wonderful! We had never tried paddle boards and had thought we would sub for a kayak but the guide encouraged we try the paddle board. We were all very glad we did, it was easier than we expected and a ton of fun! Very enjoyable experience.
Good activity

4.00We were informed a few hours before our kayaking that the location was changed to Daytona Beach, where manatees and dolphins were seen. As it turned out, we did see some manatees but no dolphins. We enjoyed hearing about the area and some of the buildings we saw. Our guide Mike took photos for us, which was wonderful! The kayaks were not comfortable for my husband because there was no back rest. They were sit on rather than sit in.
