Corey was our tour guide and did a great job, very patient and helpful. He was very knowledgable about the wildlife and surrounding beaches and activities. Would suggest it to anyone looking to get out and enjoy the wildlife and the water. We saw three dolphins right away and got to get pretty close to a manitee. The tandem kayaks... More

We went on the 10am tour on Sunday, May 6th. We have done kayak tours before but never with a guide. What a blast this was. Our tour guide Jack was so knowledgeable about the area. We saw all different birds and got to see Dolphins jumping out of the water. The tour through the mangrove tunnels is like nothing... More

We did a tour the last day of our Sarasota trip. It was a little unorganized at the beginning with people switching around their reservations but the tour guide, Cory, is very knowledgeable and fun! He taught us about the tunnels, manatees, birds and different varieties of fish jumping out of the water. Be prepared to get a little arm... More

My husband and I have been on many kayak tours and this one rates up on the top! The whole process from arrival to getting in the water was smooth without a lot of waiting around. Our guide, Todd, was fun, patient and educational. We learned a lot about the area, history, wildlife and ecology while paddling. The mangrove tunnels... More

My husband and I went paddle boarding for the first time today and it was great! The guide, I believe his name was Cory, was very good, and the owner, I believe his name was Bob, was very nice as well. If u decide to try this out, check out the man grove channels...awesome!

The tour guide was very nice. You should know that the kayak tour is really mostly about the kayaking and not really about the mangroves or ecology of the area. We spent most of the tour kayaking around an island to get back to the starting point before going into the mangrove tunnels. Then we just went through without any... More
