Wow… just wow! We had always wanted to see manatees and wild dolphins when in Florida, but hadn’t had much luck up until this tour. We saw four dolphins and an abundance of manatees, it was just breathtaking to be on the water that close to the wild animals. Not to mention the incredible birds and great scenery. Our guide, Karen, was excellent. She had an abundance of knowledge of the wildlife and surrounding land, and had some great stories too… particularly about sea grapes ;)! 5 stars simply isn’t enough to rank our experience, and we will certainly be visiting again when we are next in Southwest Florida. Thank you Karen and to the rest of the team for a magical day!

WOW!! What an amazing experience words can’t describe how magical the kayaking adventure was, we saw manatees,birds and even managed to see dolphins it was something ticketed off the bucket list for sure I was nearly reduced to tears it’s always been a dream to see dolphins in the wild and they were so close to us too and also seeing manatees for the first time not only that but they were playing with our kayaks and pushing us around.Our tour guide was Karen and she was truly amazing, made us laugh so much and was joking around with us, she really is a credit to the team, she was so knowledgeable, super friendly and got to know everyone in the group, I wish I could rate her 10 stars she truly made the experience. Thank you for making dreams come true and for a truly unforgettable experience! 10 STARS(5 isn’t enough)!!!

The tour was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Karen did a fantastic job and was extremely knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora. We a saw a lot of manatees, dolphins and all kinds of birds. I would highly recommend this tour and can't wait to do it again! So much fun!
