Awesome Island Tour - Our guide Tommy was very learned in what was on our tour. He knew about every bird we ran into and he explained the weather and the hurricanes in detail. He really made the trip interesting. We even got to put a shell on Beer Can Beach. What a nice way to end the trip. I would totally recommend the Island Tour.

Just book it! - We had a great day out with our guide, Kenzie. He was super friendly and great with our family- including our 11, 8, and 6 year olds. The tide happened to be stronger than usual (totally out of their control) and Kenzie did great at accommodating our kiddos and making the best out of it. We had dolphins and manatees swim directly under us, some great shelling on the sandbars, and a beautiful stop at "beer can island" as it's dubbed by the locals. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Kenzie is the bomb diggity - My friend and I had the best time with Kenzie as our tour guide. He was super rad in communicating with us during intros. It was my friend’s first time kayaking and he put her mind at ease knowing that he was gonna be there to help if she needed. We enjoyed his charisma while finding cool wildlife on the sea bed when we would get out to snorkel. He was so knowledgeable about marine life and the importance of those habitats. Also loved his view on how to be respectful to wildlife when we are in their habitat. Then he did a phenomenal job at getting us some manatee sightings which I know is rare but he made sure we saw them while passively observing and ensuring they had space. It honestly couldn’t have been a better time. We literally felt like we were hanging with a friend. Go Kenzieee!!

Kayak Island Tour Review - The whole island tour was amazing. We had so much fun and the tour guides made it better. They were very knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about it. You could tell that they genuinely love the wildlife and that made the tour so much better. We got lucky and saw dolphins, and manatees during our 2 hour kayak ride. Plus the crustaceans in the sand banks were a huge highlight too. Can’t recommend this tour enough. 👍
