Sarasota Kayaking - We’ll run and relaxing kayak your. Plenty to see. Caught and released shrimp, crabs, and tons of shells. Saw plenty of wildlife, but did not get to see a manatee this time, but folks on the pier we passed saw one just a few minutes before we went by. Cat did a great job of getting us all out and back safely. Had a Cormorant that was with us basically the whole time diving and catching its own fish and then swallowing them so we all could see. Quite the showbird! Got the moniker “Corky” since we felt we had to give it a nickname since it was with us so much.

John was awesome! Great excursion! - John did an amazing job! We loved the net fishing part :) It was very safe and fun and we left with some really cool photos. We got to see manatees, starfish, sea horses and shrimp!

Hippy kayaking at night! - When it got dark. Very cool seeing the water and crabs, fish, and vegetation. The boats all lit up set the mood.

Excellent tour! - Kevin was great! Easy communication and booking was a breeze. Went with a group of women and it was so much fun. Kevin was knowledgeable about the marine life and surrounding area. We would definitely book again!

Kayak with Kevin - Great tour. We really enjoyed it. Kevin was very knowledgeable. We saw lots of animals and birds and plenty of time to hang out in the kayaks and swim if you wanted to.

Best kayak tour - Amy was AMAZING!!!
She took time to explain things and let it be OUR tour.
We got to see a manatee and several dolphins. It was so relaxing and she was a great guide.

disappointed - Larry was an awesome tour guide however didn’t see one sea animal and they moved our time to middle of day when it was even hotter out. Not really worth the money…. I should have chosen night tour

Bad communication and bad luck - The information here in trip advisor was wrong.
Nobody showed up on the meeting place. After calling the operator they redirected us to a differnet place half an hour away.
So we lost half an hour of the tour.
The guide was nice and we liked it to paddle arround in the bay.
Unluckily on that day we did not spot anything.
I probably would recommend to do the night tour because the guide told us that there is normally more to see.

We were rebooked 3x by... - We were rebooked 3x by the company and then they completely cancelled. It was the one excursion we planned for and they don’t respond to calls at all and after we reached out by message they cancelled completely, after speaking with locals. Maybe they should retire, sounds as if they are sick of there own business!!
