I did the Sunset kayak tour to the Bird Rookery, with Matt as my guide. This was a small group tour which allowed us a very personal tour with a highly educated and enthusiastic guide who obviously loves what he does. We followed the well signed canoe trail through the mangroves and out to the Rookery island just in time to see an incredible sunset. It was an excellent activity for anyone who wants an up close look at the flora and fauna of the Rookery Bay Preserve. I will definitely be back!

Wow that sounds like an incredible adventure through Rookery Bay! We are so thrilled you were able to experience Rookery Bay at sunset with Matt and learned about the interesting organisms that live there. We look forward to see you again in the future for another paddle soon!

Forrest and Claire were excellent tourguides. They were extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. We're looking forward to tours when our grandkids and friends come to visit. There's nothing like having biologists as tour guides!

My wife and I took this tour last week. It was nice and pleasant - the mangrove tunnels are very unusual, and the general scenery is beautiful. Our guide, Samantha, was super-knowledgeable, which added to the overall experience. And the photos are a nice touch - most tours charge you extra for those, this one does not.
