Thanks for the awesome tour. Guides were fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had to cancel our first tour due to rain, and they were quick and efficient at getting us booked the next day. One of the tour guides even added a day to his schedule to make sure we could still go. We loved the peacefulness of the estuary and going through the mangrove tunnels. Thanks for a great experience!

What a fun experience!! It was my first time kayaking and Rising Tide Explorers made me feel very comfortable and safe as they instructed and led me through the experience. I love that their guides are all biologists, so you know that they know their stuff! Winston, Kelly and Matt were wonderful guides, who led an interactive tour with knowledge, humor, and passion for the environment and shared this love with all of us!! Thank you, Kira
