Tour guide Jesse was great. He gave us a lot of good I fo and education. Kayaks are clear but water isn’t so you don’t see anything more. Kayak seats are minimal and uncomfortable. Saw several species of birds and pelicans. Saw a few manatees, mostly their noses popping out of the water. Paddling was moderate exertion so if looking for easy this isn’t it. Overall fun trip but was hoping for better.

Alessia was an amazing guide during our tour at Tarpon Springs! She shared her knowledge about the manatees during our kayak tour and also taught us about the flora and fauna of the area as well. We are hoping to see Alessia again at the Shell Key location on our next visit to Florida. We would highly recommend Get Up and Go Kayaking!

Our guides, Ben and Raven, were very personable and informative. Our group was guided to an area where we saw quite a few manatees in their natural habitat.
