Awesome activity for families!!! - We went kayaking with our 11 yr old and 13 yr old and had a fabulous time! We used a tandem kayak with the 11 year old since we knew she would get tired easily even though she wasn't happy about it at first. Once she was kayaking, I think she was glad she wasn't having to do all the work! It's absolutely peaceful being out on the water! Of course, we were hoping to see dolphins and manatees that were seen the day before, but they were not around the day we went. Our tour guide, Nick and his orientee, Ashton, were great! They were very easy to talk to and were able to tell us about some of the birds we saw along the way. We got to go Hickory Pass Beach and take a break and do a little shelling, which I love to do! I would definitely recommend this experience if you've never done it. We had only been kayaking one other time and are certainly not experts, so it's something that many people can participate in. It was the kids' first time, and the 13 yr old loved it! I'm sure we'll do it again on a future trip!!

Amazing time kayaking - I took my daughter and it was our first time kayaking. Mike and his dad JR were awesome. They explained how to maneuver the kayak and how to efficiently paddle. The tour itself was awesome, going thru the mangroves to the open bay looking for manatees. All the way to spotting dolphins and stopping on the Getty to collect shells and enjoy the scenery. I would totally recommend their tours and service. Great son- father combo.
