Our tours are designed for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. We use stable user friendly kayaks that provide a great paddling experience.

My family of 4 went on the sunset kayak trip for my daughter's 15th birthday. We all had a great time learning about the local birds, fish and mangroves. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They checked with us ahead of time and were able to recommend the double kayak for my husband and son based on my husband's height (he is 6'4" and sometimes has difficulty fitting into kayaks but was very comfortable on this trip). They also took a few grea pics for us.

My husband and I had an amazing time on this excursion. Kayaking through the mangroves was very cool as was walking around the Shell Key Preserve. Our guide Brian was terrific and shared his knowledge of the area and wildlife. We highly recommended it!

My husband and I had an amazing kayak tour with Doug and Ross. We loved having a group of 6 plus our two guides. We had the best time kayaking through the mangroves, looking for shells on the island, and watching all the wildlife. Doug and Ross were so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We would for sure come back and do it again! The weather was spectacular. Our first kayak tour was cancelled due to wind conditions but we were notified well in advance and easily rebooked. So glad we were able to make it out. Thanks for a great time!!
