Sam & Renee made our experience perfect. You can tell nature & conserving it is their passion. We learned so much cool information & gained a new huge appreciation for the mangroves. We had never been kayaking & enjoyed it so much. Renee even helped paddle my 8yo in a tandem kayak. They took enough breaks & made sure nobody was left behind which everyone appreciated. We got to touch different types of jellyfish, a sea squirt, oysters, snails, several starfish, live baby mangroves, etc. We got to see lots of cool birds in their natural habitats. I definitely highly recommend this for anyone! We went to the Rookery reserve which is free, included with ticket-check it out also!

My wife and I had so much fun paddling in both the open water and through the mangrove tunnels! My wife saw a baby dolphin which just swam right up to her boat. The tours guides were very knowledgeable and helped understand the ecology of the mangroves.

We went on the boat trip with Winston on May 19 and it was phenomenal! We saw wildlife that I’d on read about before and Winston is an excellent teacher! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the area and answered everyone’s questions. We saw ospreys, dolphins, and a manatee! My only regret is that we didn’t have time to go again on another day. Definitely don’t miss this experience! This page only gives the option for the kayak trip but we went on the boat. It was sparkling clean with seats that rotated 360 degrees. Our fee also gave us free admission to the Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center the next day. The ELC is an excellent activity for kids. I can hardly wait to return to the area!
