Great time kayaking and seeing nature at it’s best! Our guide, Nick, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and chill.

Our tour guide was amazing!! The reason for the 2 start was out of his control. First we had no idea we could bring water or anything with us. It was so hot and my kids, my husband and myself were very thirsty by the time we were done. I do not recommend going when it super hot, the water stinks and with no water options you get very overheated.

It was just a gentle paddle through the canals in the marsh on a nice evening.
We did not really see any wildlife.
Response from Host, Sep 2022

Ben was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Being amongst the marshes was very cool. It was so neat to explore and see all the wildlife. Our whole family really enjoyed it and of course the sunset was amazing!

The two guides were great! They were informative and very helpful to us. We are an older couple who have never been kayaking and they took it all in stride. One even towed us for a while so we could catch up to the group. The scenery was pretty, although we didn't see any wildlife. All in all it was a very good experience and I would recommend it to everyone.

Great experience! Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable of the area. I believe his name was Liam! We went on the sunset tour and it was beautiful.
Brittany_G, Jul 2021
Our tour guide was Bella and she was absolutely amazing. We were lucky enough to be the only people on the tour that day. Bella is sweet and funny and she explained how to control the boat very well. she even helped me and my partner capture photos together. 100% recommend!

Ben was a fantastic guide. My 5 y.o. Had a great time kayaking and the sunset views for the 6 p.m tour were breath taking. He also shared the history of the sounds throughout. Thank you Ben for making our Kayaking experience memorable!
