Mangroves and Manatees - Guided Kayak Eco Tour

T_W, Jun 2026

Wonderful experience

This was a wonderful experience. The kayaking was not difficult, and the scenery was amazing. We didn’t get to see wildlife. We went in late June. My husband and 4 year old shared a kayak, and the little one did great. No issues. My 17 year old loved it.

Silver Springs Jungle Kayaking and Paddleboarding

Karol_S, Jun 2026

So peaceful, so beautiful and a nice exercise too, saw otters and alligators and turtles, plenty of birds and fish want to do this.Every week now it was beautiful, Dylan, was exceptional so happy we booked.This can't wait to do it again

Guided Island EcoTour: CLEAR/Standard Kayak, SUP - Bonita Springs

Libby_H, Jun 2026

11/10 experience!

We had a great time! Highly recommend the morning before the heat sets in. For my science teacher husband, this was a perfect, family friendly experience that blended a tour of the mangroves and local wildlife with a beach session at the island towards the end. We were lucky enough to get a dolphin sighting at the beginning! We will most definitely be doing this again with our daughters and other friends and family who come to visit. Luke was a great, knowledgeable, laid back and kind tour guide!

Shelly_F, Jun 2026

Wonderful Guide, Wonderful Day!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Nolan was our guide, and he was attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and made our day so much fun. We didn’t see as much wildlife as we had hoped, but we did spot starfish, plenty of birds, and even flying fish. We had kids in our group ranging from 10–16 years old, and they loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend this experience for families and anyone looking for a fun and memorable day.

Three Sisters Springs Kayak And Swim Eco-Tour Crystal River

Whitney_A, Jun 2026

Steven was a great guide....

Steven was a great guide. He was helpful and patient with us. We came with (2) 12 year old boys and we have never really been kayaking. Needless to say we need more work. Steven was able to guide us to the most beautiful water we have ever seen. He knew where to take us to see different things and we even got to see 2 manatees. We could not have asked for a better experience!!

Great kayaking trip with super guide

Great experience kayaking at 3 Sisters at Crystal Springs. We chose a clear kayak. We had a super day and although it’s off season for seeing manatees we were lucky to see a mamma and baby in the spring. We had a super guide Jax who was very informative

Sarasota Guided Mangrove Tunnel Kayak Tour

Monica_C, Apr 2026

We had an incredibly...

We had an incredibly enjoyable two-hour outing with our family and kids. The scenery was beautiful—we paddled through mangroves and saw some amazing wildlife, including a dolphin and even a manatee. It was also a great way to get some exercise while still feeling relaxed and immersed in nature. I shared a tandem kayak with my 13 year old son, which made it even more fun. There were a couple of slightly tricky moments navigating the narrower mangrove tunnels, but nothing we couldn’t handle—and it added a bit of excitement to the experience. Another review mentioned not to forget the sunblock—I second this! Our guide, Kenny, really made the trip special. He was knowledgeable, calm, and genuinely enjoyable to paddle alongside. Overall, a memorable experience we’d absolutely recommend.

Mangrove Tunnel & Manatee Kayak Eco-Tour

Sarah_W, Mar 2026

Amazing and Beautiful fun!

Firstly- didn’t want to do this but fam did so I “tagged along”. SO GLAD MY GIRL ASKED TO DO THIS EXCURSION!!!!! My sincere apologies for not retaining our guides name (but he and his wife have a membership at the aquarium lol). SO MUCH FUN. Our guide was so informative and fun and laid back but professional and obviously comfortable in the waters he took us through. Including a shark tank?? Yep. Previously used for research now “hurracained”. Including a hidden beach?? Yep. SO AMAZING. Glittered with all kinds of shells and only accessible by boat or kayak or paddle board. We saw a fisherman catch a sheepshead fish (per our guide of course- I’d have NO CLUE) and our guide explained the unique dentation of this fish before the fisherman released it. Paddled through some clouds of jellyfish. Saw poisonous catfish. Shell hunted. DIDNT DIE Honestly even IF I were outdoorsy I don’t think we could’ve ever found the isolated/pristine/fascinating places our guide shared with us. GO WITH THIS EXPIDITION IF THEY HAVE AVAILABILITY!!!! BEST EXCURSION THIS LANDLUBBER HAS DONE. Never been in a kayak before. Ready to get one and Move to siesta key. Anyone got a beach tent I can use?

Parasailing over the Historic Key West Seaport

Tammy_T, Dec 2025

Amazing morning!

My Hunny and I booked for a10am morning parasailing adventure. His first time, and a little afraid of heights, I have a “flying every chance I get” bug 😁 We went out on a perfect day for parasailing.. little breeze, warm enough outside. The 2 guy crew couldn’t have done more to bake everyone on the boat feel comfortable and safe and have a great time. We bought the photo package and they turned out fantastic! My hunny said he couldn’t believe how much he enjoyed it- so peaceful. Will be coming back to sunset again when we come back to KW.

Parasail Flights at Madeira Beach

Rose_B, Aug 2025

Keeping the trend going!

I took two of my grandsons for their first parasailing flight and they loved it and wanted to go again! I have now taken my 5 grandsons for their first flight and each of them will go again! I keep coming back to Eagle Parasailing because I've had a great experience each time I have gone. Captain Ike and Matt created a fun atmosphere for all of us and made sure we knew exactly what we needed to do. I would recommend them for your first flight or return flight!!
