Everyone's talking about Keith, and it's all true! We were a group of 13, including 5 kids under the age of 7 ! Talk about having patience! Keith was terrific! It was very relaxing. Go early in the day to avoid the hot Florida sun. We saw manatees, dolphins, birds, crabs, live whelks and a mangrove snake that the kids... More

Our family booked this from reviews here and we were not disappointed. Keith, our guide, was friendly and relaxed. It was the first time kayaking for our family, but it was easy and fun! We saw manatees, birds, and shelled creatures. Keith explained and showed us all sorts of things, and even the teenagers were engaged and interested.

Once we got going in the right direction we enjoyed the manatee, dolphin and blue heron sighting. The trip through the mangrove trail... More

We had a wonderful 4 hour guided tour with Colin. He spotted dophins, manatees and sea turtles with plenty of other wildlife. What a great way to spend a morning on the island.

It had rained overnight, and my husband and were the only ones on the tour with Colin. He spotted so much wildlife - manatees, dolphins, alligator, live shells and hundreds of birds! It was a great paddle and I would go again on my next visit!

Our guide, Naturalist Colin Carpenter, spoke about the wildlife and foliage as well as some interesting history of the area. The information he shared as he pointed out the various shells, fish, birds and manatee was fascinating. At... More
