This tour was amazing. Our guide Stephen revealed to be a 100% nature-nerd and kept on filling our heads with interesting and wonderful facts about the mangroves and its surrounding wildlife. We spotted several huge fish jumping out of the water and two different manatees, one of them even coming as close to us, that you could touch it (which you must not do, and which we didn’t therefore of course)! Stephen was always on his way collecting interesting things to show the group and the tour became quite more interesting and touchable than a simple kayak tour this way. Thank you Stephen for this wonderful morning! -Denis

Our guide, Steven, was very informative, educational and fun. He shared a lot of valuable information about the foliage, manatees and other wildlife in the body of water we kayaked in. I highly recommend this tour; the guide is phenomenal and the overall experience is top notch.

We had the best time! My son, sister, and I when on the guided tour and learned so much from Steven! He was a wonderful guide in that he showed us so many things and taught us so much history while we were out there. I highly recommended going on this tour; we will definitely go back the next time we are here!
