Heather is an amazing tourguide!!! - Saw manatees right in the marina, nurse sharks. Held a sea star and a snowflake jellyfish. Absolutely gorgeous settings in the mangroves, had a great time! Heather was very knowledgeable and fun. She kept it casual and I felt like she was just a friend in the trip.

If you want to kayak, skip this - This is not a kayak trip, this was a sit trip. We kayaked maybe 10-15 minutes, we sat and sat and sat and sat. And unfortunately a lot of what the guide Leah told us was not accurate. Then after telling us how protected the wildlife is, she proceeded to step on the ground she said not to touch, she grabbed all sorts of wildlife she should hv simply pointed out to see, and then encouraged and pressured guests to touch them too, with all the bacteria and sunscreen, stressing them out, for no reason. Then when a fireign tourist calked her out, she acted righteous because she’d “lived here all her life?” At 21 or 22 she seemed like she needed far more training and to actually learn a bit about ecology. She talked virtually nonstop. So if you want to hear a young woman speak for two hours who doesn’t know much about science, conservation or ecology, by all means, book this tour, but there will be no kayaking and you will stay very close to your launch point.
