This kayak tour was a bit out of the way from where we were staying but seeing all the reviews on manatee sightings sold me on trying it and it did not disappoint! We were barely in the water 5 mins before we saw our first sighting. We continued seeing many more including a mama and her pup. Our guide Stephen was top notch displaying his knowledge of the terrain and wildlife of the area.

Grandson‘s 1st kayak trip and our guide Stephen was informative, fun and helpful! Couldn’t have had a better experience! We saw manatees, variety of birds and one dolphin. Stephen shared his love of nature and we had a great time!

My husband and I had a great time on the kayak tour. We rented a tandem and he paddled, with me pretty much freeloading. Stephen had been very helpful in providing enough info regarding weather/water conditons to calm this midwesterner's concerns. He is extremely knowledgeable, giving lots of backgroud info on the area, and pointing out lots of birds. The highlight was seeing 3-5 manatees the last half hour of our tour.
