The kayak tour with the Rising tide explorers was our first experience in Florida, as we just landed the day before, and it was great! Terry introduced us many different species, flora and fauna, he is very knowledgable in the field of biology and a great guide. The mangrove tunnels were very exciting and something special to see. The group was small, so we could all interact and ask questions. We had a really good time. We recommend doing kayak tour with the Rosing tide explorers to every nature lover!

Awesome kayak trip through the mangroves. Guide was informative and going through the mangroves mazes was the best.

Ryan and his staff give a fabulous tour. He is a treasure trove of knowledge, which he shares with great enthusiasm. He is effective at gearing the tour to the level of guests he has (we had toddlers, teenagers, and grandparents!), and is very engaging. I’ve done kayak tours with several different local kayak guides, all have been very good, but Rising Tides is by far the best. Ryan and crew are dedicated to the environment, and obviously totally committed to what they do. Can’t recommend them highly enough.
