We loved our guided tour by Stephen, he was friendly, informative and very reassuring when we saw a gator! We weren’t expecting to see a gator but when we did Stephen was very reassuring and it was actually great fun, (the gators aren’t the slightest bit interested in you). We also saw a couple of manatees and some fish and birds and he picked out a starfish from the mangroves (he has eyes like a hawk)! He is so knowledgeable and we found it very interesting. We would definitely do the tour again and would recommend. All in all a great tour with a great guy. Thanks Stephen!

Fun kayaking adventure in Fort Meyers Beach area and a change of scenery from the beach. The eco system is more river/mangrove. We saw tons of birds, jumping fish and an alligator. Manatee can be seen on the right days too. Well delineated kayak path. We went without a guide and the whole trip was about 3 hours. Bring plenty of water. We also went to the beach in the state park after which was great. Nice white sand and lots of shells.

We did the tour 3rd November 2019 - great experience, Stephen has a wealth of interesting information about the fauna and wildlife in the park. We got to see dolphins and manatees up close.
