I was on vacation in Marco Island and wanted to try something new. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the estuary we were exploring. I have always wanted to try kayaking, and I'm glad I decided to give it a try. I saw a few dolphins, which was great. There were also lots of birds, fish, and crustaceans. It's also an area that manatees inhabit. Our guide was a marine biologist, who took the time to show us around and explain the delicate balance of estuary's ecosystem. The scenery was amazing, I especially liked the long mangrove tunnels, I never seen anything like them. It was very safe, no alligators or anything. I had a great time, and if you're a fellow nature lover like me so will you.

This tour was wonderful! Our guide Sam, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about marine ecosystems. We learned a lot on this tour, especially about the mangroves. We were able to interact with different sea life on our tour and even saw dolphins. Evan was diligent in searching for the sea life during our tour to ensure the best experience. Fantastic duo! Would recommend to my friends visiting.

It was fantastic - the tour guides - Sam was very informative and fun! You can tell she is very passionate about what she does. My husband and I with our teenage boys - she kepts us engaged and interested the whole time. The kayaks were in great shape! We saw dolphins, sea squirt, different types of snails. She was very knowledgeable and was able to articulate the information for all of us to understand. The other guide Evan made sure everyone was safe as well as documented the experience. Overall it was one of our favorite activities as a family!
