Stephen guided us and it was my first time kayaking. I had a blast and he was very knowledgable. He knew what to look for, when to pause and had answers to every question. He even sent me videos as promised after of the manatee we saw. The location is perfect too. It is well worth the money and they have options of all kind. Plus after you are done, or before your parking is good all day and you can head to the beach or trail if you want. Everyone there is so nice.

This was a great tour. Our guide Stephen was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. We were lucky enough to see at least 8 Manatees, probably none of which we would have seen if not for Stephen. One Manatee surfaced almost under our kayak. I highly recommend the tour.

What a wonderful day! We toured as a family ranging in age from 8 to 65, in both single and tandem kayaks. Stephen is a knowledgeable and friendly guide that is passionate about estuary and it’s inhabitants. We spent time getting to know 3 manatee as soon as we launched. They checked us out for long time, playing with the kayak straps and giving us an incredible view! We loved the scenery, the peaceful kayak ride, and Stephen’s great commentary. The kids even commented that they really enjoyed learning something on vacation. Who knew?
