What a wonderful experience. Elijah was full of interesting facts and knowledge of Merrit's Mill Pond. We would definitely recommend him and would do it again. Well worth the 2hr drive.

I give my highest recommendation for this very unique travel experience. It is worth the drive from Destin! Elijah our guide was incredibly knowlegeable of the ecosystem and really educated us about the wildlife and plantlife. It was very peaceful on the water, and exploring the Shangri-la Spring was so much fun.

Best Day Ever!

Sarah_H, Jul 2025
Probably one of the coolest outdoor adventures I've ever had, and that's saying something! Absolutely incredible snorkeling- crystal clear water with plenty of fish, turtles and cool rock underwater formations to enjoy. The clear kayaks were unbelievable, they were a window to a whole world right beneath you. Elijah was a passionate and knowledgeable guide- he loves this place and knows every inch of it, and he was happy to share his knowledge with us.
