5.00Clayton was a great tour guide and didn’t rush us along. We took our time and he is a wealth of knowledge!

5.00I ended up being the only person on the tour, and I was genuinely impressed that they still went ahead and accommodated me. As someone who often travels solo, I’ve had tours canceled last-minute due to low turnout—so this was a refreshing change. Clayton was my guide, and he couldn’t have been more welcoming. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and had a knack for identifying every bird and fish we came across—though I’ll admit, I forgot most of the names as soon as he said them! We kayaked across the bay to a beach near the Fort, where we went snorkeling. Clayton pointed out crabs and all kinds of fascinating sea creatures tucked inside shells. If you’re lucky enough to go on a hot, sunny summer day like I did, make sure to come prepared—there’s no shade out on the open water, and you’ll be exposed to the sun for several hours. This was my first visit to Pensacola, and I can’t think of a better way to get to know the area. I had an amazing day and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable experience.
