My wife, four kids and I went on a guide tour with Stephen. Stephen was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and animals. He was also great with the kids. Everyone had a wonderful time. Definitely recommend to take the tour.

We recently decided we wanted to see and learn more about the magnificent mangroves in Naples Florida. We booked a tour with Stephen through the lovers key adventures. We took a kayak tour for 3 hours through the mangroves. During this time we saw manatees up close and several other sea life creatures. Stephen is extremely Knowledgable and makes you feel at home in the water. He is open to questions and even walks through the water to find various little creatures. It was very enjoyable to have a tour guide to navigate the mangroves while providing us with a plethora of information. We would recommend this tour over and over again it's great for the whole family to explore and bond with nature!

I took my 13 yr old granddaughter on the guided tour with Stephen Denmark. Stephen is an awesome guide, finding all sorts of creatures with his feet on the bottom of the bay to add to our knowledge. We got to touch, hold and photograph everything he found. Although most of the alligators had gone to cooler waters at this time of year, we still got to see one right near our boat. I am looking forward to doing this again and will be requesting Stephen Denmark. Thanks Stephen!
