We had a great experience paddling through the mangroves with Kristen. She is highly knowledgeable, extremely personable and just all-around fun to hang out with! We enjoyed the entire kayak experience... yes, you do paddle a lot, but that is exactly why you go kayaking! :-) My wife and I, along with our adult son, had a great time and we highly recommend this activity and doing it with Island Ferry of St Pete. You'll never regret it!

Being from North Dakota and in January hit a perfect day to kayak to the mangroves. It’s about a 4 1/2 mile ride but the clear kayaks give you a great view of what’s beneath. Had a great guide named Justin that knew the area and was really fun to be with. We had a perfect day but you do kayak a distance so pretty sure I’ll be sore tomorrow. Going through the mangrove tunnels was the highlight. Would recommend this to anyone and ask for Justin although from other reviews you cant go wrong with the owner.

I went with my sister, it was my first time, and it was more fun than I expected, the water is very clear and you can see dolphins around the area, Kristen and Sebastian were our guides and they were really sweet and funny, I highly recommend to go on this experience if you go to St. Pete’s beach!!
