Kayak tour - During our tour, our guide Cheyann Eder was absolutely fantastic. She's friendly and passionate about her job. Her knowledge about the various species in the conservation area was truly impressive. To top it off, we were fortunate enough to spot some manatees. The entire experience was awesome.

Kayak tour 2024 - This kayak tour was amazing. Great communication. Cheyann, our tour lady, took pictures and gave them to use with no additional charge. Will do again. She knows the area.

Amazing clear kayak tour near Siesta Key with dolphins and manatees! - We had such an amazing time on our clear kayak tour with Alexis! She was really knowledgeable, telling us about everything that we spotted! We saw so much wildlife, including dolphins, manatees, and huge tarpon-giant fish as big as our kayak! It was a really peaceful paddle through the mangroves. Our favorite part was searching the beach for shells and we even found a fossilized shark tooth! This was a really cool way to explore Siesta Key and Midnight Pass!

A wonderful experience that I highly recommend! Just go do it! - This was such a fun experience and I highly recommend it to anyone- even if you live here year round! And - if you get Cheyenne Eder as your tour guide- you are in amazing hands. Cheyenne was so knowledgeable about everything -from the birds and trees to all of the marine life. And she was equally excited as we were when we saw not only dolphins playing (including a baby dolphin playing with a fish!) but a bunch of manatees too! The water was a little murky from the recent storms, but Cheyenne did an excellent job of explaining the hows and whys of it and it didn't affect our excursion at all. Just gave us a reason to do it again. Make sure you go heavy on the sunscreen, pack a hat and bring water too. Next time I’ll know better.

Excellent day Kayaking with Danny - Absolutely loved our kayak trip. Danny was incredibly knowledgeable, knows a ton about the ecology of the area, the wildlife, and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys sharing his knowledge. He is very friendly and I felt very safe and comfortable paddling with him. Kayaks were very very clean, very nice life vests-just a very very fun day! I absolutely recommend this company.

Wonderful Family Adventure - We had a wonderful time as a family on the water in the clear kayaks. We were able to explore the beach and look for shells. In addition to seeing birds, birds, and more beautiful birds, we saw dolphins. We were able to sit quietly and watch a small pod with a baby. We had a five-star time and highly recommend Danny as your tour guide. We will certainly retake the trip!

mediocre experience - The one thing we went on this tour for was to experience wildlife in the water and in the air. The trip was focused more on the mangroves themselves vs the life in the mangroves. We did not see any sea life in our glass bottom kayak. The water was pretty brown. It was pretty disappointing. I know it is unpredictable about manatees and dolphins, but even a few of the smaller creatures would have been nice to see.
