About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jada M0 contributionsSunset ExperinceOur tour guide Seth was excellent. He made me feel very comfortable after being apprehensive about being out in the water. He was also very patient and I never felt rushed even though I was slow going on the board. We got an excellent view of the sunset and local marine life. Seth was extremely knowledgeable and was able to share interesting facts.Written 8 December 2022
- Discover217472985450 contributionsSo many shellsThe tour was great, not too difficult and enough paddling to get your moneys worth. Our guide Seth was very personable and cool. We saw some dolphins and were delighted to find a TON of beautiful sea shells along the sandbars! Will definitely come back next year.Written 24 November 2022
- Cheryl W0 contributionsCritters!Taking this tour not only provided us with beautiful scenery and a fun activity , it opened up our eyes to just how many animals live in the area! We saw dolphins, hermit crabs, lightning welks, stone crabs, mullet, starfish and so much more! If you’re into ecosystem deep dives I highly recommend this tour. PS: a lot of the paddling takes place near deep water but IN shallow water so it’s great for beginners or anyone who can’t swim!Written 24 November 2022

Cameron was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable, helpful, and provided a lot of tips on the area, where to continue our kayaking adventures, and where to eat. We saw about 10 dolphins and they were up close playing and jumping. It was definitely a very special time for us as a family. We also saw many little sea creatures, birds, and a stingray. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially to anyone new living in Florida wanting to experience some new water activities for the whole family. 100% Recommend!

Group was split between paddleboard / kayak so everyone was happy. Cameron was knowledgeable and made the outing a success, as we worked around an early morning storm threat.

At the time of writing this I’m supposed to be receiving a refund but after the experience I’ve had we will see just being honest. Thirty minutes before our departure our tour guide cancels on us just so happened to be the early tour day after the fourth. Then once I finally get a reschedule for same time next day I get told that they’ve moved us yet again. Both times when I called to ask about the changes the people I talked with were nice and professional however, the stories just never made sense. I was told there was a truck breakdown, then I was told there are technical difficulties, then told there were equipment problems, as well as scheduling problems too. Maybe these problems were all happening at once but I felt otherwise and cancelled.

We had a spectacular day! The staff was patient, very responsible in guiding us on the most convenient thing to do considering the weather conditions. He made sure we had a pleasant and enjoyable time. We went on the 12:30PM tour (that day we learned that to see dolphins it was better to go on the earlier tours) but the staff made sure to take us to every corner possible and he did not give up hope. We finally got to see the dolphins and it was a beautiful experience. 100% recommended!

The views were amazing we took so many photos. The tour guide Cam was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable as I was out of my comfort zone. Cam is an excellent guide and even gave us recommendations on where to explore and eat in other areas. Definitely will book again if in the area.

Had a great time on the two hour SUP and Kayak trip. Our guide, Joey, did a great job making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed on the boards. Trip was beautiful and Joey did a great job of mixing in tidbits of Florida knowledge and wildlife facts.
Highly recommend this for anyone looking for an enjoyable time on the water.

One thing to know prior to signing up is that you really don’t have a choice, kayak or paddle board. In our group, there were two kayaks and they were reserved. Everyone else had to use a paddle board. Some gained proficiency quickly, others were sitting or kneeling for the two hours.
While we didn’t see any dolphins or manatees in our two hours, it wasn’t a lack of effort. Sometimes it happens.

Joey was absolutly fantastic, great knowledge of the area and the wildlife. He knew exactly where to take us. We saw Dolphins, manatee, sting rays and a tarpon. The three brothers paddle boards we were on are awesome. Looks like gonna have to get one, very stable, and amazingly light. Thanks Joey, great time

Great morning tour. Cameron is a top notch guide. He was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife & the history of the island. We were fortunate to get up close to a manatee. I highly recommend the earliest time slot for calm water & less intense sun.

We are so happy to hear that you had a great time on the water with Cameron and that you got to see a manatee in its natural habitat! We hope to see y'all again sometime soon!
