5.00We had such a great time on our paddleboard tour! Louisa was fantastic—very communicative, confirmed day-of, and made sure we had clear directions to the meeting spot. She was wonderful with my teenage daughters and shared some fun facts and history about St. Pete and the Coffee Pot Bayou. She came prepared with water and sunscreen and even took some awesome photos of the group, which she shared with us afterward. I really appreciated that she asked for consent before posting anything on social media—a thoughtful and professional touch. We were lucky enough to see several manatees and even a solo dolphin enjoying the inlet. It was also really cool to see Bird Island up close. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, relaxed outing on the water with someone who really knows their stuff!
Great time!

SUP Joy

5.00I try to squeeze in some SUP wherever I travel if possible, so was delighted to find Doo’s tour on Viator. Although we didn’t see any dolphins this day, Bird Island was amazing and I enjoyed seeing neighborhoods from the water. She did a great job navigating us around, was prepared with water for us to drink as it was July, and took some great pics for me. Would definitely recommend.
