Nice leisurely kayak trip in the mangroves - We had a nice time on a self guided kayak tour. The route had nice mangroves and a paddle out to a sandbar. Some good nature viewing and the kayaks were in very good condition. The guys running it were very friendly and helpful.

Easy to explore - He provided everything we needed and gave us great ideas of where to paddle. When there was a little bit of a change with the boats available, be even extended our time.

Great Kayaking with Mike - Mike has some of the best equipment. The Kayaks were so comfortable with nice adjustable back rests. The renting/reservation process is all online along with the waivers so when you get to the water you can get started right away. 5 stars for sure… we’re definitely renting again with Mike!

2 hr. family kayak trip - We took 2 double kayaks out. Mike explained the 2 hr. route and gave us the map to take along. He told us the best way to do the route so we could possibly see animals. We did! We saw a manatee that came right up near us, dolphins, we explored the beach a bit, and then made our way back under the canopy of mangoes where we saw lots of crabs. Such a fun time with our family! Mike is so helpful and would definitely rent from him again!

We rented kayaks for self... - We rented kayaks for self a guided tour. Mike’s dad set us up with tandems (some members of our crew have shoulder issues) and gave us a map and suggestions. We tried traveling through the mangrove tunnels in hopes of seeing manatees.. Unfortunately we got caught up in the mangroves and had to double back into more open water. We finished up earlier than the 2 hr slot. Mike reached out to say he was sorry our experience was cut short and offered us a complimentary tour the following day. Incredible customer service. Would recommend this business to anyone!
