Grandaughter's birthday experience - When asked, our 13 year old granddaughter wanted an "experience" for her birthday so we thought this might be a good one. Our granddaughter was completely "wowed" by the entire tour. She loved kayaking. The sunset was beautiful. Encountering dolphins close up seemed surreal. This was her introduction to bioluminescence and the interaction was amazing.

Great family adventure! - We had a great time with Andrew! Ended up being just the 4 of us on the tour after they had a cancellation. 2 adults 2 kids 14 and 12 each of us took our own kayak. Andrew found us a great spot to watch the sun go down over the horizon. Didn’t see many dolphins but we followed a couple manatees swimming all over the area. One surfaced right next to my son. The comb jellies were really neat to catch and watching the dynoplankton light up was also very cool. Highly recommend for adventurous and curious families.

Our guide Andrew was very... - Our guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and even stayed to give recommendations for manatee viewing and restaurants in the area. He didn't rush us and let us spend extra time with some dolphins, looking for comb jellies and playing with the bioluminescent algae. I would highly recommend this experience.

Dolphins and Sunset - Andrew superseded our expectations with our sunset kayak tour. We started right before sunset and saw so many dolphins and then we went around the point and witnessed a beautiful sunset. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the boats. We love the experience.

Overall amazing experience - Andrew was a great tour guide! We saw a few dolphins during the sunset. We came when the bioluminescence wasn’t as strong in October but once it got dark enough he took us out by the bridge and we caught a little comb jelly and saw the bioluminescence effects much better. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely will be back in July or August when bioluminescence is stronger.
