Helen and Robyn were amazing! Helen was so full of information and they were so patient with our younger kayaker. We saw dolphins and sea stars - it was an amazing trip. Great way to spend a morning in Naples

Being a family from CO who loves and appreciates the outdoors, we were excited to find the mangrove & mudflats kayak tour and to explore the ecology and biodiversity of this SW FL estuary with a trained biologist. We learned so much from Winston - and could have spent all day paddling around and asking him questions. He loves what he does and it shows (so does Renea!) The information we heard about Rookery Bay’s history and the mangroves, birds, oysters and other ecology of the estuary and the adventure of paddling through the tunnels made this one of the highlights of our trip to Marco Island. I’d highly recommend to people of all ages wanting to learn more about the natural beauty of the area. Thanks so much!

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words Lori! We really appreciate that you loved our tour and understand how important it is to learn about the environment. Winston and Renea do a great job sharing their vast amount of knowledge about this area and all of us here at RTE want to be like them when we grow up. Thank you so much for exploring with us and we cannot wait to have you back for another adventure!!
