Great tour with Roman - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Roman. He pointed out a ton of wildlife and rare plants. We also saw dolphin, an alligator, and manatee. It was a great tour! We also really appreciated that both he and his trainee took photos and sent them to us after the tour. It was refreshing to not be asked to pay more money for them! Professional outfit, great equipment, and great tour and tour guide!

It was a great... - It was a great experience! Our guide Roman was patient and knowledgeable. We didn’t see any manatees as we hoped likely due to the the colder weather but plenty of birds, and some dolphins!

Highly recommend! We will be back - We had the best time with Roman! He was timely, and even confirmed that he was waiting for us. He was very knowledgeable about all of the animals we saw and great at spotting them from afar. Thank you for an amazing afternoon! We will be back!

Wonderful chill kayaking tour - This kayaking was wonderful and chills. The environment is very beautiful, you can see the ecology of the mangroves, the water is calm and easy to paddle. There are a variety of plants and birds, and there are many jellyfish in the water. This time I saw a group of dolphins swimming very close to the kayak, they are cute. The tour guide was very professional and friendly. He try to spot the marine lives and interesting things to us during the whole tour. He introduced knowledge about various animals and plants, shared local travel and food suggestions, and helped us take memorable good photos.

A lovely way to see all the beauty of the area with a knowledgeable guide to lead the way. - Roman was a fantastic knowledgeable guide! He helped every step of the way to make it a great experience! He was easy going and helpful with a large group. We saw spoonbills and many other birds! He had a quick eye for the manatee’s and dolphins we saw. A manatee followed us for a lot of our journey. A wonderful experience!

Guides did well, but customer service, directions and communication were an issue. - We unfortunately didn't see manatees. So that's not a guarantee. We did see a couple of dolphins. Our guides did pretty good - Roman and ?. However we struggled with quite a few things. 1. We wanted to see if we could change the time of our tour. I couldn't get through over the course of 3 days. I called probably 7 times and left three voicemails. I also emailed. No return call or email. It's OK if the answer was "no - time change not possible". However a response one way or the other would have been appreciated. 2, The directions to the kayak launch site were unclear. The dropped pin provided was inaccurate. We were told to look for an orange flag - there was no orange flag. There was nothing to indicate we were in the correct place. Our guides were out with another tour so there was no one to talk to. The truck and trailer that were there were not marked, so that did not provide us a clue. 3. Our tour guide was supposed to text us the day before to confirm, he did not - that would have helped us with our communication problem. 4. Our tour guide offered to take photos. We never received any photos.
