This is a 2 hour and 15 minute tour with Lovers Key Adventures master naturalist guide, Stephen, who expertly guides our guests through the mangrove canopied estuary explaining the importance of the southwest Florida eco-system -the history of the area- from the Calusa Indians, Conquistadors, and Ponce De Leon..on. He finds wildlife and introduces our guests to the various birds, vegetation, dolphins, and manatee (if they’re around that day;) This is one of the unique experiences available in southwest Florida. No tour is ever the same there is no script and many guests return year after year to enjoy Stephen's expertise and the beauty of Lovers Key

Our group of 8 had an amazing time kayaking through the estuary with Karen. She was a lot of fun, super knowledgeable, pointed out so much wildlife and somehow kept track of everyone’s name. We saw more manatees than we could have hoped for including mamas and babies….one set of twins. It was an absolute blast and Karen is fantastic!! Highly recommend.

Karen guided our multigenerational family through a two hour tour which became one the most amazing three hour adventures of our lives. She thoughtfully directed our group along the estuaries at lovers key educating us on the ecology of the mangroves and all the wild life they protect. We were graced with the opportunity to float along with a mother manatee and her calf as they playfully swam along our kayaks gently bumping us. I highly recommend this tour and Karen as your guide.
