Mike was a great guide. So fun and knowledgeable. We went to a beautiful beach for shelling and we loved paddling through the mangroves. It was a good adventure for my young kids. It was nice to have a choice between kayaks and SUPs. We saw a lot of wildlife and a dolphin up close.

Seth was a great , friendly tour guide. Though we only saw one dolphin, the experience was relaxing and adventurous for our two children. Thank you for the experience.

Seth, our tour guide, was amazing! We had a wonderful time! Would definitely book again. We done the kayak this time but the paddle boards look just as fun.

Beautiful ride. Scenery, guide was great. Good time. The only reason I wouldn’t get five is because we saw no sealife (I know that is not fault of the tour).
Michaela_S, Apr 2024
wonderful weather and stunning nature. Unfortunately, no dolphins or manatees showed up. The guide was very nice and told us and showed us a lot.

We have done this excursion twice now! We loved it both times. First time we saw dolphins second time we didn’t see any but still enjoyed it! It’s our favourite! Seth was our tour guide both times and he is AMAZING at his job. So knowledgeable and has answers for all your questions! It’s a great thing to do for people of all ages! Totally recommend it!!! SO much fun!!!!

This was an awesome experience!! We didn't get to see anything, however just the experience of paddle boarding through the ocean and its little lagoons made it worth it 100%. Seth is awesome. He explains everything really well. And makes sure everyone is doing OK along the way. We would definitely do it again!!

Seth, our tour guide was the best! He made the trip fun and was very enthusiastic! The scenery is beautiful and we saw Manitee’s and dolphins. Definitely worth doing.

Seth was very patient when presented with the broad experience levels within our group. Was a great "guide" as he knew the enviroment and animal life very well. He made it his goal to get us the best experience. Seth was very enthusiastic and obviously loves his job! Took post tour photos which he sent out immediately. Highly reccomend Seth for this tour!

Seth was a great tour guide. Not much wildlife this go around, but it was a good experience, Seth shared lots of knowledge, and had fun searching for shells on the beach.
