Sunset glow tour - My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a sunset glow tour and it was amazing! Our tour guide was Seth and he was very knowledgeable of the area and even helped us hunt for shells and identified them. Big Hickory Island was a sheller’s heaven! Definitely go again!

5 stars - Nicholas is the best he made my friends feel comfortable in the treacherous waters. We saw many forms of life. He even jumped off his paddle to rescue a drowning raccoon and brought him to shore. A true hero we never knew we needed. This business owner should be so thankful to have employees like him.

Clear Kayaks - Such a cool experience! Our guide, Monique, was super knowledgeable and fun! The clear kayaks with the LED lights made for an awesome effect in the dark and even despite a little surprise rain shower, we had the best time! Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

A little bit of everything! - My daughter and I took this tour and it was fantastic! Our guide was very knowledgeable and grew up in the area, we enjoyed all the stories and knowledge! A little bit of everything… kayaking, eco tour, shelling on a private island, a very private and beautiful sunset, even a little spooky return trip through the old stomping ground of pirates!

A Superb Tour - Our guide Cameron was superb-he was extremely knowledgable about the ecosystem of Florida and passionate about his job and sharing his knowledge. I highly recommend this company-the tour was beautiful-we stopped at an island and we loved kayaking in the dark with LED lights. We learned so much and now will look at the ecosystem in a different light. A fantastic tour!!
