Oh my gosh, this tour was amazing! Winston was our guide, so knowledgable about the mangroves and passionate about his work. My family and I learned so much, had a great time, and got sunshine and exercise. The perfect activity!

Our tour guide, Ryan, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. As a fellow biologist, I really appreciated how he was able to go more in depth with the other grad students, but keep it understandable for the kids in the group. Every staff member I encountered was so friendly and accommodating. Our tour had people of all ages, and everyone had a great time. I would definitely go back.

We had a great time! Our family of four (mom, dad & 2 college kids) got to enjoy the beauty of the bay and the mangroves while learning lots of interesting information along the way! Matt was a great guide and Renee was also very informative! There was also a young couple and a younger family with little kids and everyone seemed to enjoy the trip very much.
