We booked last minute for a kayak tour. Dillon was our guide. I informed him I was a nerd and would love all the info he could share. He hit the mark. It was a peaceful kayak trip through the mangroves. We even got to get out and look for sealift on the shallow sandbars

Dylan was extraordinary! Engaging, helpful, funny, and wise! We saw dolphins, birds, and so much more! I learned about the importance of mangroves and the differences between the shellfish. A biology lesson but in the sun and in a really fun way. Paddling was easy and my entire family loved this- one of our favorite experiences on the island!

Our guide Elliot provided interesting information in an entertaining way. The trip was just the right length to experience the beautiful mangroves around Marco Island.
