We spotted so many groups of dolphins and some were so near to us I couldnt believe my eyes. Also with all the pelicans and seagulls flying over our heads! To first-time kayakers: don't worry at all. The guides were friendly and patient (Justin was great), and tandems are really NOT as difficult to control as a usually clumsy person (myself) would expect. The whole thing was organized neatly - they would text you multiple times in advance to make sure the tour was still on (in case weather changes), you arrived at the right place, etc. I don't write reviews generally but feel like this deserves one.
Also, they do provide a dry bag to keep all the valuables, and could take photos at your request, but I would suggest keep your phone with you so that you can take pics whenever you like - most phones are waterproof now and it really isn't THAT wet. Enjoy!
