We drove 3 hours round trip and they told us that we were on a weather delay and waited for an hour and could be waiting all night and our guide said that the likelihood is that we would not be going out. Mind you we already drove close to 2 hours and this company refuses to give any money back, only rain checks which is very frustrating because we were from out of town and left the next day so we got shafted $350 for 5 of us. Very unfortunate that the company wouldn’t work with us or budge

The tour and tour guides were AWESOME! What a great experience. We had to wait out the wind but got to see a rocket launch while we waited. Highly recommend for families.

I loved this so much! When you paddle, all these jellyfish light up! We caught some in a clear jar and it was as bright as a lamp!
Our guide Faith was awesome and hilarious! She’s da BOMB BIGGETY!

Brea was an excellent tour guide giving our small group plenty of opportunities to see the bioluminescent comb jellyfish. She is very knowledgeable so you will learn a lot about the area. We also saw some dolphins in the moonlight and could hear the manatees come up for air. It is a great trip!

Getting to see the bioluminescence and the peacefulness of kayaking at night under the stars. Our guide Seven did a really nice job of sharing information about the location and the wildlife within it.

Was a beautiful night but the bioluminescence was disappointing Also at times can be stressful if you’re not a experienced kayaker because you are bunched up with other kayakers and you might run into them.

The entire trip exceeded expectations. The location, environment, guides, and overall experience could not have been better. A must see if in this area!

Overall good time learning about the wildlife refuge. Only negativity was that our trip was a bit crowded and caused for a lot of bumping with other boats on the path
