He finds wildlife and introduces our guests to the various birds, vegetation, dolphins, and manatee (if they’re around that day;) This is one of the unique experiences available in southwest Florida. No tour is ever the same there is no script and many guests return year after year to enjoy Stephen's expertise and the beauty of Lovers Key

Karen did an amazing job making sure everyone felt comfortable with the kayak & paddling. She was full of knowledge & shared it in such a genuine way. Karen made all ages feel comfortable & was so easy to talk with. It was a great experience & looking forward to it again when we are back in the area. Beautiful area to see.

Awesome tour with Karen an awesome guide. Karen clearly loves to take people Kayaking. She make sure everyone knows what they are doing. Karen also knows a lot about all the birds you see on the tour and the plant life too! She knows how to find Manatees! We saw four of them and spent at least 30 minutes with them swimming around our kayaks! Karen also is entertaining with stories on the trip. I am pretty sure she could make anyone of any age comfortable on the tour. I would recommend it to everyone!!!

Karen was incredible! Kind, considerate, very knowledgeable! We saw 3 manatees plus many birds (all of Karen’s favorites). Absolutely recommend this tour. I’m sure it will be one of the highlights of our week long trip to Sanibel Island!!
