A friend and I joined a group kayak tour with Stephen and Bowser recently at Lover's Key State Park and we had a wonderful time. Stephen shared his extensive knowledge of the area, history, plants and prolific wildlife during a leisurely 2.5 hour paddle in an incredibly beautiful place. We came very close to many types of birds. It was the highlight of my first visit to the area and I recommend this tour to everyone. Take time to visit the beautiful beach too. And - to top off the perfect day - we saw manatees!

I was on winter break visiting my mother - we took the guided kayak tour with Stephen Denmark . I was very impressed with the sights snd his knowledge of the area wildlife and the area as a whole . I appreciated the time he took to show us everything and explain the various birds and other sea creatures that lurked in the mud :)
