Joey was a great guide and meet us at our skill level. We had such a great time navigating the mangroves and learning about the area, its wildlife and weather. He was waiting for us at the launch site, promptly got us in the water after ascertaining our skill level and was a joyful communicator. I highly recommend.

Kayaked through mangrove tunnels, saw a large variety of birds that were new to us, not being from Florida, and saw a dolphin up close. No mandates though, not the fault of the guide, wild animals don't seem to keep a schedule.
The guide, Joe, was knowledgeable about the animals and history of the area.

Visiting my friend in Bonita Springs and we were looking for an outside adventure. It was a beautiful early morning paddle and we saw several manatee and collected beautiful shells. I highly recommend this trip for adults and kids.

Stopping at the beach was a nice touch. Padding thru the mangroves tunnels was exciting. Just a nice leisurely 2 1/2 hours of kayaking.

thanks for the great review

It was a fun experience, but in order to receive the pictures the guide takes and promises to give you, you have to give him 5 stars first.
Also, it’s $65/per person no matter how old you are. Even a toddler that is going to ride in the same kayak as a parent. It would have been nice to know that before we showed up to the site. Prepare to pay more when you get there if you don’t pay for your kids under age 10 when booking the tour.

you and your sister both lied about the amount of people that were coming on tour when you booked when i asked for payment for additional people you paid me right then and there and apoligized i sent you your pics your sister will not respond to my texts and refuses to pay what she owes me i will take this 2star review and wear it like a badge of honor you ripped me off shame on you

We had a great time kayaking and shelling with Joey, even for some of us who were novices. Would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful way to spend a few hours with friends. The path we took was perfect. We got to enjoy nature and the water and sights well. The beach we went to was absolutely covered in shells. I was certain there wouldn’t be many there that were beautiful as others would have already gotten to them. I was wrong. I went home with a good bag of them. I highly recommend this excursion!

It was so much fun! He was knowledgeable and took us to shell island to collect shells and went though a really cool tunnel too! Will use him again when I’m visiting Florida!
