Mangroves a must

5.00Kinsey was very upbeat and very knowledgeable. We were experienced kayakers, but two other couples struggled with maneuvering at first because of the winds, and Kinsey was very helpful to get them back on track. We saw lots of birds, and he explained a lot about the mangroves and their value to the islands ecosystem. Help support the islands revival with this worthwhile trip, and remember to tip your guide.
Family Fun!

5.00This was awesome! Ben was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We saw dolphins, manatees, a giant jellyfish, and countless crabs and snails. Ben knew what every single one was and could tell us all about their life cycle and habits. It was very informative and very cool. I held a giant conch that was as big as my head! And a pod of dolphins swam right under our kayaks! I will say, there was less kayaking than I expected and more exploring sand bars and islands but I liked it that way. If someone was looking for a long strenuous kayak trip they might be disappointed by that, but I was pleased.
What an amazing day!

5.00Ben was amazing!! We had a small group and went out saw a dolphin then had a group of them swim right under us. We went to the sandbar and walked around when we found a jellyfish! Ben took us over to beer can island and then on the way back we saw dolphins and manatees. Ben was so knowledgeable about everything and so kind you can definitely tell he loves what he does! Can’t thank him enough.
Perfect little adventure

5.00We had a wonderful time kayaking! Kinsey’s genuine passion and enthusiasm for his work truly shone through. He was attentive and ensured we enjoyed ourselves. We looked for wildlife and shells and saw beautiful, hard-to-reach beaches. Highly recommend!

5.00Great time on the water. Guide was awesome. Kayaking was enough to be a bit challenging but not so much to exhaust you. Saw some rays and manatees and spent time on a sandbar and on beer can island only accessible by boat. We are a family with 2 boys (13&15) and they had a great time too would recommend.
Kinsey was great! My...
