We had a great time on...

We had a great time on our tour! Beautiful morning, lots of manatees out, and spotted a dolphin as well! Our guide, Ian, was incredible and knew his stuff. I highly recommend booking a tour with him if at all possible! He was by far one of the best guides we have had on a kayak tour!

Quite a GREAT morning tour!

Prior to leaving this morning we received our text from Jack, making sure we knew where to meet and also that all our waivers were signed! Once arriving at MM48 on 520W, he was preparing our kayaks. Once everyone arrived we set off. First thing we saw were manatees frolicking around, as it is mating season! These wonderful creatures were everywhere today! Next we saw a few dolphin feeding, evident by all the birds flying near them. The Indian River Lagoon contains several critical, protected bird islands, and we kayaked over to one of them! I finally sae a few Spoonbills, which I have wanted to see in the wild forever! So cool! We looped the party island and sandbar area, taking a brief break due to increased winds. This area is used highly on the weekends with boaters! Lastly we toured the other side of Bird Island (where we saw so many different species) prior to heading back in! Jack even pointed out a huge Manta Ray to us! Thanks Jack for a wonderful, wildlife filled morning! It was quite an amazing tour!! was an amazing guide this morning!

An Amazing Family Adventure

This tour was amazing! We saw manatees, dolphins, alligators and many birds. The kayaking was easy and the water was calm. Our guide Terrance was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of history of the area and about the wildlife. He even took photos of us throughout the adventure for no additional cost. This was the perfect way to spend our Thanksgiving day!

Great Afternoon on the Water

Bring a jacket or sweater as it can get pretty cool when moving at higher speeds. Bring a hat/visor/sunglasses and your camera! Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife. Captain Dave was great! He was super knowledgeable and very chill. He even walked back down to where we were after he had taken his boat out of the water and was leaving, just to point out a tortoise to us that was up on the land. He wanted to make sure we saw it. He could have cancelled our tour as we were the only 2 people on board, but he was happy to take us out either way. It was easy to get to the dock and we found him right away. It was a great way to spend an afternoon. We would definitely recomment this tour to everyone.
