Amazing, beautiful, serene and educational - Such an enjoyable way to spend a few hours! We had a group of 7 and Mark was an incredible guide. We learned so much about the mangroves and our surroundings and enjoyed taking in the scenery, paddling through the calm and beautiful water and seeing birds!! It's the perfect blend of education and just enjoying some quiet time in nature. Can't recommend more highly!! Next time we are back in the area, we all want to go again! ❤️⭐P.S. mangroves are truly fascinating

Best Florida experience - After the trip I forgot to right a review. Finally remembered because it was the best part of our trip!!!! Learned so much from Mark. His knowledge and appreciation for the mangrove and animals is infectious. Love the kayaks; my back isn’t great, dreaded the trip but they were the most comfortable kayaks I’ve ever been in! The scenery was so unique. Loved the small channels we paddled through.

A Good Morning Excursion - Mark was excellent as our guide. He even went so far as to call us the morning of the tour to let us know conditions had changed and the tour we signed up for was now recommended for experienced kayakers. Since we are not, he offered up the two hour tour instead. On the tour, Mark did a great job of explaining the ecosystem and all about the mangrove trees. He was very knowledgeable and did not hesitate to answer any question. If in the area, and looking for a kayak tour, do not hesitate to book with him.

Who knew this was right in our backyard on North Hutchinson Island! - We have lived in Vero Beach since 2017 and I wish we can across this outing adventure sooner! Mark and his wife Fabby are so sweet, knowledgeable and attentive. I was concerned it would be too strenuous and we wouldn’t be able to keep up. It is all about floating and drifting more than paddling! So don’t worried about that at all. So if you are in need of a stress reliever, take this tour! As soon as we pushed off (2 adults per an inflatable kayak shaped canoe), I entered a world of serene peaceful nature. The mangrove canopy canal-like water paths are so unbelieveably beautiful. Mark’s environmental knowledge makes it even that much enjoyable. Kids under 11 are free and can fit in the same boat as mom and dad. So if your adult children and grandkids are in town, book this family-friendly tour. It will be a lifetime memory!

Prehistoric Kayak Tour - The two hour Prehistoric kayak tour was wonderful. Mark our guide was full of information regarding plants and life on the estuary. We will definitely be back to take the longer tours in the future. Loved the pictures Mark took and sent to us regarding our trip. I am going to tell all our friends looking to kayak, to please call Mark for the most enjoyable time. 😎

Great time - We had a great experience with Mark and Fabia. The trip was perfect with Mark guiding the way and Fabia being the photographer. The equipment was in like new condition and worked very well. Mark was an encyclopedia of information about the trip and both were very easy to enteract with. Would highly recommend this trip if your looking for a great way to get into the mangroves and discover nature.

Made Lifelong Family Memories on this Kayak Trip - All I can say is “Wow!” From the very start Mark, our kayaking tour guide, greeted us with such great warmth and enthusiasm and it continued throughout our adventurous excursion into the beautiful world of the Florida Mangrove tree ecosystem. If you are into a leisurely, safe, and family-friendly kayak trip through a wildlife area, this should be for you. My wife and two young teenaged kids loved the leisurely pace and felt safe at all times because the kayaks and other equipment were top-notch, and Mark was a highly competent, energetic, and attentive guide. He gave us a quick but thorough lesson on how to be stay safe and how to steer the kayak, and kept an eye on our two kayaks throughout the trip. Also, he narrated the journey, identifying all that we were seeing and explaining in detail how each functioned in the ecosystem. We saw several different types of creatures in their natural habitat. I won’t spoil it for you, but the animals we saw included tree crabs, a manatee, and a jellyfish that didn’t see to mind us touching it. Each creature was intriguing in its own way and many seemed indifferent to our presence. But for me, the plant life and rich history was the star of this trip. The price was super reasonable and there are a variety of tours that are available. And, you probably won’t find a better tour guide than Mark. Taking this excursion is a no-brainer if you are in the area and we will treasure the trip as one of our lifelong family memories, and will probably return again at some point.
