Just book it… - If you are looking for an activity, you can end your search here because this is it!!! This experience was priceless and for only $60… in this economy?!
I booked the trip and just expected to get some exercise in, see a nice sunset, and maybe a dolphin if I was lucky. To my surprise, we saw dolphins the majority of the time we were looking for them! Including baby dolphins… There were also swimming birds that followed us while we were kayaking… it felt like something straight out of a movie lol. The entire experience was unreal. So relaxing and there was so much to see! I will cherish this memory forever and I’m so glad I found it.
This experience wouldn’t be what it is without Tommy. Tommy was very personable, knowledgeable and a fun guide. He took us to all the great spots to see wildlife and shared facts about the area and animals. Tommy is amazing at his job and I couldn’t recommend his tour enough!!!

A Beautiful Experience amidst Beautiful Sites - Our guide, Tommy, was very knowledgeable, informative, and extremely capable at kayaking and guiding. The best memories were the many dolphins we saw (many very close to our kayak), fish jumping out of the water, and pelicans swooping down to grab fish. The sunset and associated pictures were also beautiful. The trip expense was reasonable and the experience was well worth the money. The trip requires some exertion to paddle the kayak but it's well worth the effort.
