Awesome - I took my granddaughter on this tour today and it was amazing. Our tour guides Danny and Taylor were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the mangroves, other Florida vegetation and wildlife in the region. They were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very safe and comfortable despite us having very little experience. I would definitely recommend this kayaking experience.

Chris is the best! - Chris was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and has an amazing life story. Very stand up guy. Even though we didn’t see any manatees he made up for it with his funny stories and vast knowledge on the wild life out there. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the preserve!

AWESOME - We had a great time kayaking and saw manatees!! We learned so much. Chris was AWESOME!! He taught us so much about the Robinson preserve and the birds and animals. He also helped us kayak and kept us laughing even when we struggled to paddle together. It was really nice to meet him and learn from him.

So much fun! Quiet and easy paddle - This trip was so fun! We are Florida locals and wanted to take a trip with friends. We ended up being in a group of 6. Our guide was fun and shared a lot of info with us about the area. Robinson Preserve was really pretty. No boats with motors and no fishing so it was really peaceful. Definitely would recommend this to others! We would come back or go to another location!! Sarasota was close and sounded really nice!! No manatee sightings today but it was seriously worth checking out
