Not your typical adventure!

Danielle_M, Jul 2026
A very cool adventure! Matthew was an incredible and patient guide as we navigated a pretty windy evening and all different levels of kayakers. But we all managed to stay together as he walked us through some interesting education on the mangroves and local wildlife and safely got us to the beach to watch the sunset. Though the sunset was a bit hazy, we were lucky enough to row home under the biggest most golden full moon I've seen in a long time (we almost didn't even need our glow lights, though it did make the trip more fun!). Since we went at low tide, we didn't see too much marine life rowing out like manatees or dolphins, but it did make for some good shelling and easier maneuvering of the kayaks. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for the amazing and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a memorable adventure with Matthew. His patience, knowledge, and ability to keep everyone comfortable and together—especially on a windy evening with different experience levels—are exactly what make a tour special. We’re so glad you enjoyed learning about the mangroves and local wildlife, relaxing at the beach, and discovering some beautiful shells along the way. While the sunset was a little hazy, it sounds like the golden full moon created a magical paddle back! We’re happy the glow lights added some extra fun to the experience too. Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your experience. We hope to have you back on the water again soon for another unforgettable adventure!

Good for mom and the teenagers

Alta_D, Jun 2026
This was a nice, relaxing kayaking trip that was great for me in my 50’s and for my 15 year old. It was a nice departure from the beach and a great activity for the evening. We saw a dolphin that was swim very close to the shore and other a saw manatee. Lance was great and he collected some cool shells for us. The sand was beautiful and the location for the sunset was very peaceful! Lance took pictures afterwards and sent us via text! Really a nice relaxing experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dress warmly as it was freezing and windy on beach. If weather under 70 bundle up. Also, feet get wet so wear appropriate shoes. It’s a great activity though- watching the sun set and paddling around. Tommy, our guide, was quit personable, knowledgeable and helpful 👍

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thanks for joining us on the water, Colleen! We greatly appreciate your recommendation and feedback. Great tip on dressing warmly as this time of year the evenings can get chilly. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Tommy. Hope to see you again for another adventure!

Party-Mode Activated

Casey_K, Feb 2025
Peyton and Jeremiah were incredible and capable tour guides; humorous, knowledgeable, and kind. Loved the lights on the boats - ‘party mode’ hit the spot - however am curious if the fish may have found that questionable as we didn’t get to see many 😝. Thankfully, the thoughtful nature of Jeremiah & Peyton still made this a tour worth catching.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Peyton and Jeremiah made your experience fun, engaging, and memorable. They’ll love knowing their humor and kindness stood out! The lights definitely add to the fun—‘party mode’ is always a hit! 😆 As for the fish, who knows? Maybe they were just admiring the show from a distance! Either way, we’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the thoughtful guiding of Peyton and Jeremiah. Hope to see you on the water again for another great adventure! 🚣‍♀️✨

Worth it!

Laurie_M, Apr 2024
Our guide Karen was awesome! Kind, friendly, knowledgeable & funny! Didn’t know what to expect but we had a blast!

OK activity for day time

Julie_B, Mar 2024
Our guide was the best! He made the trip good. But the weather was iffy, you couldn’t see the sun, and our boat had a bent rudder, making it impossible to steer. These are not really kayaks - they are little boats, so they aren’t nearly as stable as a kayak. Big boats were swamping us with their wake as they went by. I might do this again in the day but not at sunset and after dark.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you found our guide to be the highlight of your trip and that he made the experience enjoyable for you. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the weather conditions and the issue with the rudder on your boat. Ensuring the safety and comfort of our guests is our top priority. Our kayaks were replaced less than 2 weeks prior to your visit. Each kayak is inspected prior to each launch and the rudder issue could have happened during your tour and we apologize for that. Your comments about the wake from passing boats are duly noted, however the area we paddle is a slow speed zone and the conditions you experienced are not normal during our tours. We appreciate your valuable feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future.

Beautiful sun set!!

Denise_C, Mar 2024
Our guide was awesome! Really nice tour but buggy so be prepared. Our guide was kind enough to provide bug spray but I wish I brought my own to reapply. I have taken two sets of guests and would not hesitate to go again.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour despite the bugs and that our guide was able to provide bug spray to help make the experience more comfortable. Your willingness to return and bring others along speaks volumes about the quality of the tour. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
