An unforgettable tour in the mangroves of Fort Pierce with my daughter (13) and my son (19). We choose the 4 hours tour but there are different options available (2,4,6,8 hours…) You can go on this tour with or without kayak knowledge. Mark gives us complete kayak training if needed. This Thursday morning was beautiful, and we were so lucky to be surrounded by dolphins. After kayaking in the mangroves, stopped on few sand bars to get some snacks, we get a refreshing bath in clear water near the sea, in a place that you can access only by boat and get back relaxing in our motorized kayaks. Mark and Fabia are amazing guides, very informative and helping us get comfortable on our tour. We were a very small group and our guides let us choose what we preferred to do. Fabia also sent us a photo album to keep some memories of this wonderful day. I used to travel around the world and get sometimes some tours, but this one is a must if you get to come to Florida and like nature, wildlife and little “sport”. I will come back next year with my family and get this tour again! Thank you Mark and Fabia for this unforgettable day!

We're overjoyed to read about your experience and to know that you and your children had an unforgettable day. It’s always a beautiful day when so many dolphins join us along the route. We designed our adventures to experience the many facets of the estuary with time for exploring sand bars and swimming in the clear waters. We take pride in providing a more personalized experience with small tour sizes making it easier to have meaningful conversations and hands-on interaction with nature. We're honored to be considered a "must" for Florida tours and appreciate your kind words. We can't wait to welcome you and your family back next year for another adventure!

My daughter (11yrs old) and I went on our first kayak experience ever, and it was AWESOME! Our guide Mark explained how everything works as well as what to expect. We felt very safe and comfortable in his kayaks. We were very lucky for two reasons: great sunny weather, and we were able to see Eagle Rays, Dolphins, and multiple Manatees! Mark’s knowledge about the Mangroves was wonderful; we’re from South Florida there was plenty that we learned from him. We also liked that our group was very small, making it kind of private & a little more special. I definitely want to bring out of state family on this tour when they come to visit; we will be back. Overall, this kayak tour with Rivers to Ocean was a 10 out of 10 and we would highly recommend this adventure!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! I'm thrilled to know that you and your daughter had an amazing first kayak adventure with us. It was so much fun watching both of you discover the wonderful world of kayaking across sandbars, through mangrove tunnels and quietly approaching wildlife. It's fantastic that you felt safe and comfortable with our high-back supporting chairs. Spotting Eagle Rays, Dolphins, and Manatees in a kayak is incredible, especially when the dolphins swam by your kayak and the manatees passed you while swimming. We're delighted that you appreciated our smaller and more personal approach to tours. I look forward to having you join us on another tour soon. Thank you for your personal recommendation and the perfect 10 out of 10 rating!

My mom and I went out kayaking for the first time. We had a wonderful time. It was a great experience. We would love to do this again. We felt safe. Thank you for taking time to teach us and take us on the water. Even though Mom didn't do to well.

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your mom had a joyful and wonderful time kayaking with us and we enjoyed getting to know both of you. It was fun to find jellyfish, conch, see many fish and discuss the importance of the mangroves. It's fantastic to know that you felt safe and enjoyed both the paddling and motorized portions of the tour. All skill levels can enjoy our tours including first timers. I hope both of you get a chance to come back and see us again!
