Fantastic kayak tour!! We took the mangrove 4-hour tour with our two kids (7 and 9). It was easy to find with lots of parking space and toilets in the park. We had one large kayak with 2 seats and paddings on the floor for the kids, it was very comfortable. Mark took us on a great tour, taking time to show us the wildlife and explaining as we went. We got to see manatees, different jellyfish, starfish, ragged sea hares, ospreys, green and blue herons… that was a fun and educational tour! We dreaded having to paddle back, so the kayak motors were a godsend! Very easy to steer, it was so relaxing. We’ll definitely return, this is probably the best kayak tour we’ve ever joined!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable time on our tour and that you consider it the best kayak experience you’ve had! Exploring the shallow waters and discovering sea stars, stingrays, sea hares, jellyfish, and more is always a thrill, and we’re glad you got to witness those manatees gliding alongside your kayak—it’s truly a special moment. It was a joy to see your kids so engaged, leaning over the sides and watching the marine life up close. We’re also pleased that the educational aspects added to your adventure and that the electric motors made your return trip comfortable and relaxing. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next vacation for more fun and exploration!

I want to say this is an amazing tour, we were blessed to see a dolphin family up close enough to touch them and it was a Momma, Poppa and new baby. We followed them in the canoe Mark allowed us to use for about 30 minutes. No matter what, take your camera or phone to take pics as we could have gotten way better video's and pics than Mark did as we were literally on top of the family of dolphins. Mark has learned the area and has given us some good information on local historical sites. We took our towels even though Mark said they would get wet, they didn't and thankfully we did as we placed them over our legs and avoided getting burned. Please wear protective clothing from the sun as it is hot and the trip is long to be out in the sun. Wear hats and prescription glasses work well to see the creatures in the water. We saw puffer fish, jelly fish (upside down) and many other types of fish which I don't know the names of them all. The mangrove swamps are really pretty and a good way to see little creatures like the tree crabs. Mark was always teaching us how to row and which direction to move to to avoid sand and get strung out. He was very much like a protective parent. Bring lots of water in a cooler box as it really gets hot out there. I tan easily and have a skin that is good in the sun but still my shoulders got very burned, so please be careful to wear protective clothing which you can put on and take off to swim and carry a waterproof bag for extra clothing, towels, sunscreen, glasses and phone or camera. We did not actually get wet in the canoe but only when we jumped into the water close to a sand bank. The water was really warm and comfortable to swim in. Mark was a lot of fun to talk to and get to know. Thanks Mark for a memorable trip.

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an incredible experience. Witnessing dolphins swimming beside your kayak is truly magical. Our top priority is reading the signs in the air and water to position our guests perfectly for such encounters. Your advice about bringing a camera or phone for photos and videos is spot on – those moments are definitely worth capturing. We encounter a wide variety of marine and bird life in the estuary, on the sandbars, flats, and within the mangroves. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed every moment. It was great to experience your passion for nature too! I really enjoyed getting to know you and your son. We stop often to cool off in the shallow water, take breaks for sunscreen application, hydration, and snacks. Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughtful advice for future guests. I hope to see you again for another memorable adventure!

We enjoyed seeing the dolphins & manatees and getting to meet Captain Mark, he was most knowledgeable about the Mangroves and local wild life and definitely has a passion for what he is doing, a bit of a perfectionista, but all in all good fun and quite relaxing.
