This was the best wave runner tour we have ever taken! I was a little shaky to start but Avi was so patient and helpful which helped me feel more comfortable and secure. So even if you're a beginner, you can do it! We requested a shelling island and manatees. He delivered on both! We saw a herd of at least 10 manatees swimming together (a few even swam directly under our wave runners!) and found several sand dollars on the island. The tour through the islands was beautiful...we saw some amazing birds! On the way back, we even had a shark join our group (harmless but very cool to see!). Avi had bottled water for all of us and even sunscreen and sunglasses which we forgot. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and you can tell he is passionate about the water. It was the perfect trip! My husband and I went with our 4 children (13, 15, 15, and 18). The 18 year old took a very quick boating safety test near the Hilton so she could drive one herself. My kids are still talking about this tour and agree it was one of the best excursions we've taken on Marco Island (and we've been coming for years). Tips...use a lot of sunscreen and make sure you let Avi know what you'd like to see. He'll accommodate! At the end of the tour, we were even given a flash drive with photos from the day (which were professional quality!). I will definitely use Avi again and I highly recommend!
