Kayaking through the mangrove tunnels was absolutely amazing. The scenery is breathtaking, and paddling through the winding natural pathways felt like exploring a hidden world. Joey made the whole experience even better—he’s knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made us feel safe, relaxed, and taught us so much about the ecosystem along the way. Highly recommend this adventure—it’s a must-do!
They were very friendly and gave you a map which was very helpful.

Excellent area and sites to paddle through and hang out. Even though this was self-guided, Nick was a great guide in providing a map showing us where to, but also tips on places to stop and options to better enjoy our experience.

Wow! We rented the 4-hour kayak-on-your-own trip, and we had the time of our lives!! Joey was incredible and showed us all of the best things to do before we got started. The mangrove tunnels were incredible, and the shelling beach was magical. Joey pointed out a manatee that swam by before we even got started, and then we got to see a dolphin in the docks. What an incredible way to spend a day!! 10/10!
Fun in the Sun

Rented kayaks and paddled around the pass, to the beach and into the mangroves. It was such a beautiful day. Joey was promptly waiting our arrival and had everything we needed ready to launch. Excellent service!
