Brought us closer together. We participated in the guided tour in a tandem kayak. Traversed the paths of tunneling Mango paths, listening to our guide, learning, laughing, and having fun. Learned about a very interesting echo system. Perfect excursion.

Our tour guide Kelly was knowledgeable and fun. He gave us a little lesson on how to navigate then we headed out. We saw some manatees, jelly fish, spider crabs, ibis, and several funny swimming birds joined us. Then, we went into the mangroves. It was a little breezy and not super windy in the bay. It was easy to paddle and make our way through the bay. I have canoed a few times, but only kayaked one other time and that was in a river many years ago. I was a bit nervous. But, once we got going it was fine! They had dry bags for our keys, wallet phone etc. and the seat helped support your back (as much as a kayak can). We got a full 2-hours worth! I would recommend it.

Fun, interesting, and exciting. Great guide, Uber informative. We learned about the Mangrove echo system. We had fun as a couple in a tandem kayak.

Our guide knew so much about the marine life and wildlife we encountered and made our tour very enjoyable. We went out on the open water and saw a dolphin and many birds. After we headed to the mangrove tunnels where we got to explore three separate tunnels. Our guide found a starfish and a sea urchin which we got to hold. Super enjoyable and would love to go again!

Jacob was an EXCELLENT tour guide! He gave us some great information about the mangroves and showed us some of the fascinating specimens that are a part of the ecosystem. Check in was super smooth and easy with very friendly and helpful staff. They even lent us a water safe bag for our trip. The kayaks and equipment were in great condition! The paths through the mangroves were so unique and fun to paddle through. The time went by so quickly! My daughter and I enjoyed this adventure and appreciate the expertise of Jacob throughout our excursion.

I don’t know the area at all. So I was happy to have a guided tour and discussion of the area. I forgot TV his name but we saw different sea creatures like a star fish.

We had a great time! Tour group was extremely helpful in kayaking instructions, putting the kayaks into the water and answering any questions that we had. Our guide was also very knowledgeable of the area and made the tour fun and interesting. Highly recommend.

While visiting Sarasota, we wanted to do something out on the water. We randomly picked a kayaking tour company online and we really lucked out! Jacob was an incredible guide.. very patient, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The kayaks were clean and comfortable, they gave us waterproof bags to hold our belongings and they had a rinse off station we could use at the end. I would definitely do another tour with them. You were great Jacob, thanks again!

Kelley was funny and knowledgeable. You could tell that the mangroves are important to him. Really enjoyed the atmosphere he created. I absolutely loved the tunnels. The trees are so beautiful. I had no idea how important mangroves are and all that they do for us.
