Fantastic tour! Cindy was very knowledgeable and her dog is a very good boy!!!! We had a wonderful time enjoying the natural side of HHI.

This was a lovely way to spend the morning! We had coffee and then kayaked at a leisurely pace while our tour guide (her hilarious dog Van Gogh rode and dove off her kayak multiple times—that dog is living his best life!) spoke about living in the area. A manatee even swam right in front of my kayak. This was a very laid back kayak trip. We covered less area than we expected, but it was a perfect family experience for us. We really enjoyed it!
Laura_M, May 2023
Great experience for beginners. The guide was knowledgeable about local wildlife and I learned a lot about the island.
Celia_R, May 2023
Great way to start the day! Allie was our tour guide she offered great information about the area and was upbeat and having fun. Nice leisurely kayak, beautiful back drop and an encounter with dolphin made this morning one for the memory books

We really enjoyed the morning kayak and coffee trip. Our guide was excellent! We saw 2 dolphins that swam right next to us for a long time. It was so fun. We would definitely do this again!!
Anna_L, Sep 2022
We had so much fun!! It was for sure a great way to start our day. Sydney our tour guide was the best! Informed us about wildlife and the salt marsh ecosystem. We can’t wait until we return to HHI to do this again!
Molly_H, Aug 2022
Enjoyed Learning trivia about the island, having the dog jump from kayak to kayak, and the dolphins swimming right beside us as we came in with the fishing boat
Kim_B, Jul 2022
Very friendly guide, nice paced adventure, nice treat to have the iced coffee waiting for us and seeing Gary the dolphin as we left the dock was the icing on the cake!
Michelle_D, Mar 2022
Cyndi was an amazing tour guide who went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Very knowledgeable about the area and very fun to be around.
One of us was struggling with learning how to kayak, and she went out of her way to tie them off to her kayak so that they could still enjoy the tour. 10/10 service
Michael_H, Feb 2022
The trip was cancelled by the tour company due to it being windy .
The weather seemed fine. Rescheduled for next week. Hope it happens.
Bethany_G, Jul 2021
Cindy was an awesome guide. She made sure to engage personally with all participants. We really enjoyed talking to her about our shared bird wildlife experiences - and of course, the Starbucks coffee delivered to us before the trip made it perfect! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time with just two of us and our guide! Beautiful and informative. Our guide was very friendly.
