Dan and Natasha were fantastic guides! Both were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and very patient and helpful. The night time kayaking is definitely an experience you don’t want to pass up if you get the opportunity.

It was nice but a bit underwhelming.
Matt was informative as to the marine life as well as the history of the horseshoe crab.
Rachel_A, Mar 2026
It was a lot of fun and we saw some really neat creatures. Fish, rays, hermit crabs and we were able to catch and release to see what we found.
Sara_G, Feb 2026
Super fun trip! Peaceful and got to see a beautiful sunset. Our guide found lots of neat creatures and shells to share with us. Highly recommend!
Kate_H, Jan 2026
Fun paddle! The views are amazing and we had a wild needle fish attempt to board. Sunset was gorgeous and we saw lots of marine life.
Stephen_A, Jan 2026
Our guide Steven was a great guide and good person. We had a lot of fun. I actually had a needlefish jump out of water right into my boat, which was really funny.

I’m local and it was a Great experience, layer back tour guide, trip wasn’t too short or too long, highly recommend it no matter your situation

This is an amazing experience for young and old. One thing you need to know is that nature is unpredictable so, you can’t be upset if you don’t see a ton of wildlife. The water was calm, the night beautiful and the overall feeling amazing! Our family always looks for unique experiences and this is in our top 10. Our guides were excellent and made sure they shared the wildlife that was caught in their nets with all. In addition, they were very respectful of the wildlife and stressed that all visitors should be as well. I highly recommend taking this opportunity when you are in Florida.

It was so much fun. Steve not only made our kayak experience safe, he made it educational as well. I would highly recommend this tour. Would definitely do it again.
Joseph_V, Dec 2025
The trip was great. As experienced paddlers we questioned the value but were pleasantly surprised. The experience of being in the mangroves at night, the view of the shallow bottoms presented by the lights and the discovery of wildlife surrounding us was magical. The guide, Steve, was great; helpful, knowledgeable, informative, adapted to our desires, assisted greatly with a handicapped member of our group - just did an excellent job overall. We all agreed that it would have been valuable to bring our own headlights, flashlights, etc. to look for birds roosting in the mangroves to add to our viewing pleasure. Easy trip for all ages. Our group included several 75+ elders.

I expected to see a good variety of fish and instead, only saw lots of oyster shells and needle fish. The kayak launching area was not safe nor easy to navigate. On a positive side, our guide, Dan, was very nice with a good sense of humor. He also offered a lot of insight of what we were seeing.

Don called us ahead of time and waited for us to make sure you get to the right location.
He is enthusiastic about his job, which is inspiring.
We definitely recommend his tours, and he needs to be recognized!
Allison_V, Sep 2025
Loved our kayak tour with Dan! My sister and I planned the tour as our first nighttime activity once we got to Siesta Key and it was a great activity to start our trip. We got to see fish, crabs, conch, and lots of other sea creatures. The excursion was a blast and Dan, our tour guide, kept us laughing. Definitely a great way to start a trip!
Tiffany_L, Aug 2025
The guides were awesome and very knowledgeable! Water wasn’t quite as clear as I’d hoped. Please be advised your butt will get wet!
Nick_T, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was Dan and he was absolutely amazing! Super knowledgeable guy, very nice and funny and took us to safe fun areas to catch whatever we could find.
Jennifer_Y, Aug 2025

Stacy_M, Aug 2025

Decided to do something different with the family and we are so glad we went! Dan and Brandon did a great job guiding and educating us along the tour. We had a blast and caught some really cool creatures!
Kendra_K, Jul 2025
We had a great time exploring and finding different “creatures” in the water. Our tour guides were great and made it lots of fun!!
Margaret_H, Jul 2025
So it rained, and they cancelled the trip, they offered a refund or to reschedule, I chose refund as I do not live here and I wouldn’t have time to reschedule, they never sent me a conformation for the refund and I still haven’t recieved it, nor will they answer their phones.
Anyulis_Y, Jul 2025
Great!!! It was my first time and I enjoyed it. When I started the tour, I was a little scared, but the guide made me feel safe and the experience was wonderful. I would do it again.
Teri_S, Jun 2025
What a great time .. we will be doing this more often with more friends..! It is a calming adrenaline experience..! Hard to explain.. you have to experience it …
Tracy_S, Jun 2025
Had a great time! We had a group of 8 people and were able to get in the day of the tour and we enjoyed netting different creatures.
Lourinda_S, Jun 2025
Great adventure with 11 year old. About 7 kayaks in our tour group. Our tour guides, Gio and Jose, were knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic about the creatures all of us found. Be prepared to get wet from paddling and netting. I recommend as a fun date night or family outing!
John_R, Jun 2025
It was a great experience!! Jose and gio were really friendly and very helpful telling us what we caught. There was alot of cool species of creatures to see!
Maddy_S, Jun 2025
It was fun you definitely get wet throughout the tour. It was an experience to remember. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to see sea creatures throughout the tour.
Kristopher_P, Jun 2025
