Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable and there were plenty of them to keep everyone safe. This was a great experience for our family. The teenagers who were a little afraid soon became comfortable and adequate paddlers! We saw adults dolphins with babies and multiple other pairs. We were within 10-15 of them many times. I would definitely recommend for families with teenagers.

My husband and I went on the sunset tour with Troy and Brody. Both of them were professional and very friendly. They explained everything in detail before, during and after the tour. They went out of their way to talk to each person in the group and make them feel comfortable. We saw three dolphin groups, four, three, two and watched them playing with each other. We learned a lot that we didn’t know about dolphins and the bay. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested! Great tour!

What an experience!!! I know it’s not guaranteed, but I REALLY wanted to see a dolphin!! 🐬 The weather couldn’t have been any better! The gents guiding were extremely knowledgeable and so awesome! I pictured being on the water with the sun fully setting and dolphins jumping next to me, false. The sun will set when you get back on the beach… AFTER the tour, not on the water. And you may not see dolphins. Just pelicans! 🤣 It still was an incredible sight. Couple things to keep in mind, make sure your partner can paddle the entire time with you, not a 10 year old who tires easily lol. You’re going to get wet!!! Bring a water. Oh and don’t forget to bring cash to tip all the guys! Thank you fellas for a great end to my birthday!! 🥳🤩

Thank you so much! Yes, the sun will set after you return, otherwise you will be on the water in the dark-and we definitely don't want that! So glad you enjoyed your experience and so sorry you did not get to see dolphins. So often the experience is such that you pictured, but not always. Please come back and try again especially if you enjoyed kayaking!
