Our group included 4 teenagers and 2 adults and we were all thrilled with the kayaking touring experience we had with Stephen. The kids talked for days about the things that they learned and it was the one of the highlights of our week long stay in Florida. We saw jellyfish, tarpon, many manatees, dolphins, starfish, sea urchins, crabs, many kinds of birds and more on our information packed tour. We never felt rushed and all of our questions were answered. I highly recommend this tour...we learned and saw much more than we ever would have on our own. Thanks Stephen!

My wife and I took the Sunset kayaking tour with Steven Denmark, and it was amazing. Even on the way down, Steven was stopping to point out and tell us all about different kinds of wildlife and showing us how knowledgable and passionate he was about what he did. He was able to find us multiple rare shells, fun wildlife in the area, and we even got within 10 feet of wild dolphins in a bay!! Whether you are looking for a romantic evening with a significant other or fun for the whole family, I cannot suggest this tour and this tour guide highly enought.

My family had a great time on our guided kayak tour throughout the Lover's Key estuaries. Stephen Denmark was our tour guide and he was excellent. He has a vast knowledge of the area and its inhabitants. He certainly has a passion for what he does and he even brought his dog along for the tour. We had never been on a kayak before but after a few minutes it very easy to get around. This trip was one of the best parts of our vacation and I would highly recommend Stephen.
