Sunset tour - The sunset tour was so awesome as was our guide, Alexis. She was outstanding. She is incredibly knowledgeable and educated us on so many interesting facts about FL coast. I’ve lived on the FL coast my entire life and still learned things I never knew. The scenery of the natural habitat of the untouched islands was beautiful to kayak through at sunset. Seeing the sand dunes, dolphin, schools of fish, and unique birds was very cool. The kayaks have a clear bottom so you can see what’s under water, which was an added bonus. I’m so glad we added this adventure to our vacation!

Positive experience for 1st time kayaker - We had never gone kayaking before but the guide was very patient with us and other 1st timers that were part of our tour. He took things at our pace and made that we had everything that we needed from seats to flashlight to neon lights to light up the kayak after dark. It was recommended to select the green light to better see the fish.

Beautiful + peaceful sunset tour in a clear kayak - What a peaceful sunset we had! It was so beautiful + so quiet! We had a chance to see so many birds as they flew in for the night! On the way back our clear kayaks had lights which was so cool when a school of rays swam under our clear kayaks! We also saw a dolphin + tons of fish! Our guide Alexis was so knowledgeable about the area and animals! Well be back to try the haunted tour!

Good experience - Good experience for my two 18 year olds. The kayaks were only lit for a little bit towards the end but the guide did a great job and they saw a little bit of wildlife. Would recommend

Go jet skiing instead - The tour guide said no more than 10 words to us the whole time. She didn’t instruct us on what we would be doing, if we would be stopping, etc. She barely looked back for us. The clear kayaks are pointless as you cannot see anything on the bottom.

Disappointing at best - We were very disappointed in our tour. The description of what we would experience did not match at all. Our tour guide Josh was nice but he did not share any information about the area, what we would see, etc without us first asking. He didn't tell us anything other than the name of the sound we were crossing. He didn't ask anyone their experience level and fave no instruction on how to use the paddles and we had a couple of first-timers on our tour. The ride back was fully in the dark so we had to cross the sound in the dark with no lights in any of the boats which was very dangerous. Also the water is so murky you couldn't see anything under the boat. He also said it's very rare to see dolphins so don't go expecting that.
