My wife, niece and I had a great morning trip with Kristin. She was very supportive with my wife who was a little nervous in the kayak. Weather was great and the scenery was beautiful. My niece got a kick out spotting the little crabs running on the mangrove roots.The cormorants were entertaining as they swam right next to the kayaks and would dive underneath which we could see thru the clear bottoms. Only disappointment was not seeing any manatees and only seeing dolphins way off in the distance. Thanks Kristin for a enjoyable adventure.

We had a great morning kayaking with Kristen. I had only kayaked once before....first time for my teenage daughters and husband. It was a fun adventure kayaking to Shell Key....and it's great to be able to see through the kayaks in the water. The cutest black water birds would follow us to Shell Key. Once on the Key...we saw a manatee swimming close by and a spider crab along the shoreline. There were live starfish and some pretty shells as well. My favorite part was kayaking in the mangroves. And I also loved seeing many dolphins feeding in the shallow waters. It was a great tour and Kristen was very informative and patient with my new kayakers.

We had a fantastic morning with our guide Kristen in Shell Key. She was patient with all of us and our questions about the area. We really got lucky seeing a few pod of dolphins and manatee while leaving the beach area.
