Great company! All the guides were great. Kinsley was very informative. Did not see manatees kayaking but after they sent us to a park where we saw them. We did see dolphins. Few tips: butt gets wet however bottoms dry quickly. Kayaks very comfortable. Wear sunscreen! Can take phone, they have dry bags however on the way back I was able to leave mine out.

We had an amazing time! Kinsley and Benjie were very knowledgeable and made it very fun. We found a spider crab, conch and dolphins. Our family of 6 had a 7 year old as well as an 89 year old and these two were very helpful with them. They made sure we were prepared, hydrated and took breaks. We stopped at a beach to see a seashell memorial on a tree that fell over. It was beautiful! Although we didn’t see the manatees, Tommy, the owner met up with us at a spot to see them. We saw a bunch of them along with a baby! I would highly recommend this!
