Great Experience for a First Timer - As a first timer, it was an awesome experience. The guides were very interactive and informative. They even went from boat to boat offering to taking pictures. They pointed out the difference species of fish and actually caught a Conch with his bare hands to show the group!

You have to try this! - We went in April, 2024 as a couple and the tour was great! We are Sarasota residents and I don't know why we haven't went on this tour before but we will go again! It was just so relaxing, we saw many fish that swam by and under the boats. But it was just so peaceful, watching the city lights come on and the moon come up. This was not a stressful fast paddle tour or was it too wavy, it was just pleasant! A definite recharge! Thank you!

It’s ok - The tour is around a basin. We were under the impression we were going to go through the mangroves because that is he picture shown for this tour. There was hardly any marine life to see. Tour guide was very nice.
