Fantastic Experience! - If you get to visit Canaveral National Seashore, this is a must do! Eric is knowledgeable, professional, and very focused on providing the best experience on the water. We saw manatees and dolphins on our tour, and listened to all the amazing information about the National Seashore. His equipment is top notch, and is very patient with those who might not be great at steering a kayak. My wife and I enjoyed it so much we went again for the night tour. An amazing experience!

Lots of Sea Life. - We completed the morning kayak tour. Eric was a great host. He checked in with us prior to the start time due to impending inclement weather. He knew the forest ranger and was able to get good insight into the weather prediction. We had just enough time to complete our two hour trip where we saw several dolphins and manatees and learned about the lagoon and marine life. The trip was enjoyable as the kayak pedals make it very easy to navigate. No worries about who is going to paddle and needing super strength to kayak for two hours. We took our two young kids ages 8 and 10 in the tandem kayaks. Eric was very patient and the whole family enjoyed the sea life. I highly recommend this kayak trip to get outside and see the national seashore and a different side of the ocean and sea life.

Beautiful Morning and a Rocket Launch! - My husband and I took the morning tour from Apollo Beach last week, what a great experience! The pedal kayaks were easy to use and let us focus on the beautiful surroundings rather than paddling :) We saw manatees, dolphins, a puffer fish and a BEAR! Eric was a terrific guide and even offered to delay our start so we could try to see a scheduled rocket launch! He had us in perfect position and we were able to see the launch (far away, but still), bucket list item accomplished, thanks Eric! Hopefully we'll be back to do this again, highly recommend!

Highly recommend - This was our first time kayaking and it was a great experience. Our guide, Eric, was very knowledgeable of the marine and wildlife. You can tell he loves & is very passionate about his work.
Unfortunately, we did not see any manatees, but did see dolphins.
We stopped to explore a small island, which I loved.
My husband & I had the petal kayaks, very nice.
Tour was slow, relaxed pace. Very nice!
