Chris, our tour guide, was amazing! Friendly and knowledgeable, he went above and beyond to ensure my daughter and I had an exceptional experience. We saw a manatee, dolphins, flamingos, and several other bird species. Particularly memorable was gathering shells and the mangrove tunnels. I'd love to return with the rest of my family so they can enjoy this magical experience too.

Tatiana was very knowledgeable of the marine life which was super interesting for us as we are both from the northern US. This kayak is not a workout, it is more of a lazy float while learning about fish, trees, birds, water slugs, and the general area. We also got to go to a beach with a lot of cool shells! I highly recommend this kayak, we had a great time!!

We had a great time. It's just beautiful out there. We saw dolphins, many birds, fish, and shell critters. It was very peaceful. Our guide Chris did a great job of making sure we are all taken care of and explaining everything to us. I will definitely recommend it.
