We did a kayak tour of the mangroves with Stephen, and he was an amazing guide!!! We unfortunately did not get to see dolphins or manatees (just the way the cookie crumbled that day), but he went out of his way to get us up close and personal with other wildlife. He was very informative and individualized the tour based on our interactions and requests. We had a great time and will definitely use him again!!
P.s. I browsed the one/two star reviews, because I was curious as to what they could even say. One person was upset there are no concessions....? I’ve never even seen a state park with concessions on the beach. Another person mentioned it being unsafe because of alligators. I posed that concern myself and Stephen explained it was very rare to see them and if they did they were small, unaggressive ones. Not to mention Stephen has Bowzer, his little pup, tag along and Bowzer is the perfect size for an alligator meal, so I fully trusted that injury from alligators was not a legitimate concern.
