Steven was an excellent guide. Very informative, took his time and made sure no one was left behind. Our group of 1 senior over 70, 3 adults and 7 13-14yr olds had an amazing time on the water. Wild life is very unpredictable, so no dolphins or alligators. We did see alligator tracks, raccoon, and some other animal tracks that we were told about. Don’t remember name (big rat like). It is a wonderful memory for these kids on their class trip.
Thank you

Guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Fun time. Saw dolphins before leaving on the trip and during the trip, along with osprey, heron, and eagle. Good length of time, worth the money.

We had a great time ; the guides were laid back and full of information about the area and environment. Kayaking is a favorite activity of mine in Colorado; this 3 hour tour did not disappoint.

The guide was great and of course the wildlife and scenery were fantastic!!!!
Would like to have seen manatees, but we understood that it is too early in the season.

Enjoyable trip. We saw a large number of dolphins. Didn’t realize that they were tandem kayaks but that was ok.

We didn’t see any dolphins, but we did have a large barge pass by and Captain Chris was amazing with his knowledge. We seen a bald eagle and a lot of other birds. Fish were jumping out of the water over all it was a great time. So worth the time and money!! Would definitely recommend and do it again ourselves!

Our guide, Stephen, was extremely knowledgeable and educated us about the area and the wildlife the entire time. I was delighted to see the dolphins, and we saw a pelican fishing! It was exciting to go out onto the ocean. We had to cut our time short because a storm was fast approaching. The clouds were magnificent.

We had an excellent time! It was beautiful we saw multiple dolphins a couple were really close. The tour guide was very cool and very knowledgeable about the environment and the wildlife. If you're looking for a relaxing yet informative thing to do look no further.
