Excellent guide, he was very friendly. It was a bit pricey for an hour long though. We saw manatee and sting rays.

Tour guides were great and made it a fun experience. Neither me or my boyfriend ever went paddle boarding before so this was perfect for us. We were able to see some dolphins and they got pretty close to us! Also, they took some pictures for us which was awesome!!

Damian was such a wonderful guide! He was knowledgeable about the area, and gave great fun facts about the wildlife and vegetation. 10/10!

We decided to make a last minute call to try and get a trip. We received a call back and was booked with a guide in no time. Damian met us on the River and we paid then and there. Talk about top notch service. Damian was excellent… he gave us a great tour on the perfect day. I believe it was good luck because you can’t control weather or wildlife, but even when we were just cruising, Damian made us feel comfortable with a wealth of information. Definitely a MUST DO!!!!

Am absolutely amazing experience! We came within 15 ft of a manatee, who was just playing in the water. My husband saw sting rays. The guide was superb, and assisted in every possible way to enhance your experience. Definitely worth a visit!

I thought this would be more difficult than it was. Chris was very helpful in showing us how. Best experience you will find in the area.

Chris was absolutely accommodating to me and my 12 year old triplets regarding scheduling, assessing the weather and providing a great experience. We saw a manatee, various species of fish and many rays! He is professional and knowledgeable. Would absolutely do again !

This was such a fun and relaxing experience! We saw about five manatees. Our tour guide Marina was fantastic.

Chris took the extra time to make sure everyone in our group-from my 11 old daughter to my nearly 80 year old mother, felt comfortable on the pedal boards. It was a really fun and unique Florida experience touring the FL mangroves. Highly recommend!

Melinda_H

Owner and tour guide were super cool. Tour was informative and this was a great way to get around in the water. Boards were super easy to navigate. Would recommend going early on hotter days. We went in the morning and weather and wind were perfect. We didn't see much wildlife on our trip except a couple of small stingrays. Would do this tour again in hopes of seeing more.
