Justin and Kristin were amazing. We did have a lot of wind and they let, and encouraged, anyone who didnt want to get sore shoulders and arms to rebook or cancel at no expense, however we went ahead and went. So glad we did. Yes, it was a little more work paddling butt it was well worth it. The mangroves were incredible to kayak thru amd we saw dolphins and actually kayaked over a manatee. Would highly recommemd and can't wait to go back.

We booked a kayaking tour last minute and (the company) was very accommodating. What a great experience! Our tour guide, Kristen, clearly has a lot of passion for what she does. We are tourists, so many of the things we saw on our adventure out to shell key were things we were seeing for the first time. Kristen showed just as much enthusiasm as we did, if not more. Kayaking through the Mangroves was a unique experience that we will be doing again on our next trip down. My husband and I had a tandem kayak. It took us a while to find our sync, I think next time we will do two singles. We went through three mangroves on our way to shell key and saw fish, birds (including a cormorant right by our kayaks and roseate spoonbill up in the mangrove trees), mangrove crabs, and an oyster bed. It was really neat being able to see the fish through the clear bottom kayaks. Out on shell key we were able to shore our kayaks and take a walk along the sandy shore and look for shells. Overall a great experience!

We have all kayaked before, but the clear bottom kayaks were really cool! Kristin was our tour guide and did an amazing job. She was very fun and very knowledgeable about every plant and animal we saw. She pointed out things we never could have noticed on our own. Highly recommend!
