Sponge Dock/Manatee kayak trek - Julie was very knowledgeable about many of the birds and animals on the trek. We saw several manatees and enjoyed spending several minutes with them observing their playful nature. The trek was pretty casual and we learned about the history along the Sponge Docks.

The best experience. Hands down. - Julie was so great! She reached out ahead of time to make sure I was prepared. The experience itself was totally amazing. I plan to bring my husband back and do it again. We saw so many manatees and she was very familiar with all of the them; even before name! My I had such a peaceful time. Definitely a good workout. We also had to return Santa Jaws to his home!

super relaxing and saw... - super relaxing and saw lots of animals! Julia is very supportive and knowledgeable. Very good family experience with reasonable price!

Great day kayaking through Spongetown! - The trip was amazing. We saw so many birds and fish. We even saw manatees. Julie showed us the sponge docks and explained quite a bit of history. I highly recommend this trip.

Great Tour! - Julie, our guide was the absolute best. Very informative, accommodating, passionate, energetic, and made sure everyone was safe and involved. The experience met all expectations and I highly recommend taking the tour.

Great tour and manatee viewing. - Beautiful day kayaking. The highlight of the tour was the manatees. Our guide Julie was amazing and knowledgeable regarding the manatees and wildlife. Was a highlight of our 2 weeks in Clearwater beach.

An experience we won’t forget - Julie was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and taught us about a variety of things. We were able to see so many manatees, a couple dolphins and a variety of birds along the way. We definitely recommend this tour!

Great Excursion!! - Julie was such an amazing n knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot from her on the wild life and just tarpon springs in general. We got to see dolphins with their babies n manatees with their babies. It was an excursion my husband and I will never forget! Thanks Julie 🐬💕

Lots of manatees!! - We had a wonderful time with our guide, Austin. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We saw dolphins and many manatees! They were right near our kayaks! It was amazing!!!

Long and quite difficult kayaking, not clear waters, great guide - Julie, our guide was great, but the kayaking was rough. I've asked for tandem in the comments, but that was overlooked, so we all got single kayaks (I have an 8 and a 12 year olds). Luckily one couple agreed to split (otherwise had to reschedule which was not an option), so I could do tandem with my 8 y/o, but my wife and 12 y/o had to do single. It was a difficult 2 hour kayaking against gusts and with lots of boat traffic, and 30 min with the manatees. On the way back the guide connected my daughter's kayak with a rope to help her. As for the manatees - you can barely see them because the water is not clear. You can see the same by parking at the spring and seeing them. A couple years ago we did a similar kayaking tour in Crystal Springs (a 1.5 hour drive north), and it was so much better. Clear water, short and easy paddle and a much better facility. No boats and lots of manatees that you clearly see from your kayak. Overall, if you're in the area, and have strong kayaking abilities - it's fine. The guide said I should have booked the tandem tour, but I couldn't find it. Also, there's no option to mix tandem and single, and I assumed that they read the comments before hand. Also, probably best to call them directly and say exactly what you need. And get ready for a workout. Tarpon Springs is a cute town, dominated by Greeks, which is like being in a greek village. Very fun.
