It was a great time! Lachlan was our tour guide, and he was very knowledgeable about the mangroves and Florida wildlife. Definitely recommend this tour!
Lockland was an amazing guide with so much knowledge on the area and wildlife we encountered. From the birds and mangroves to the manatees and even restaurant suggestions, he knew it all. The highlight was seeing 2 manatee and having them come over and check our boats out and just hang out with us for about 20 minutes. It was magical. Highly recommend. The company was easy to work with and very attentive also.

Awesome!!! Thank you!!!
Nice kayaking through the preserve. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Did not see much wildlife other than birds. Thankfully our guide gave us a tip of a spot we could drive to and see manatees afterwards.

We had such a great evening exploring the bay and mangroves - this company is very informative and easy to communicate with! I’m 6months pregnant and this was a perfectly safe excursion at sunset to enjoy.

This is not a strenuous paddle. You can be a beginner & really enjoy this.
You’ll see many different types of birds in the mangroves. Benjamin shared a lot of interesting information about the ecosystem with our group.

Such a beautiful afternoon spent exploring the mangroves! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about all the birds, fish, trees and other inhabitants.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Beautiful!!! Thank you!!!
Tom and my guide, Ben, were so easy to communicate with. They confirmed with me in the morning of the tour and followed with an email confirming where to meet. Then when Ben was caught in a construction zone, he let me know his status. Ben was very passionate and knowledgeable about the birds, plants, fish, oysters, snails in the preserve. It was truly a memorable experience. I will definitely book another tour when I return. Ben also took photos for me and sent them to me at the end of our adventure.

Wonderful!!! Thank you!!!
Evan was our guide and did a great job! The manager/owner contacted us before the trip and made some helpful suggestions. Then he contacted us again the morning of the trip to confirm some directions. Just a really well-done tour and experience. Definitely recommended
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much!!! Thrilled about your experience!!!
Tommy was very knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife. He was also very engaging.
It might be wise to ask your clients about their kayak experiences in terms of length of time. Single kayakers might find the current and wind more challenging than those who are a twosome and can share their paddling.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you!!
What a great experience for our family! Tommy was an excellent guide - and made this experience one to remember - we’ll def do this again. :)
Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great time with Tommy at the lead. Tommy was more than accompanying, offered great customer service, is
knowledgeable about the area and wildlife and just a nice guy to get to know. We will definitely be booking another tour when we are back down this way!

Thank you!! We can't wait to see you in the future!!!
Tommy guided us through the mangroves at Robinson Preserve. The area was beautiful and he was knowledgeable about the area and it was a fun experience. At one point we got out on a sandbar and took photos. We recommend Tommy and Florida Blue Adventures.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Amazing!! Thank you so much!!
Tommy was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. He spotted a manatee which is uncommon in this area at this time of year. Besides guiding us around the manatee, he made sure we all spotted various birds in the area; escorted us to climb the watch tower; and helped us navigate the more challenging spots of the mangrove.
