    With an impressive perfect rating backed by thousands of reviews, this outfitter delivers consistently excellent kayaking experiences through their knowledgeable guides. Billy, Aaron, Orion, and Erick get frequent shout-outs for making tours both educational and fun. They're genuine naturalists who share wildlife facts, spot manatees and marine life, help guests find shark teeth on hidden beaches, and create a welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels. The booking process is straightforward, and guides go the extra mile with thoughtful touches like offering dry bags. Families love bringing kids along, and first-timers feel completely at ease with the patient instruction. The tours can be more physically demanding than some expect, but the casual, friendly vibe keeps things enjoyable. One minor note: the meeting location can be tricky to find initially, so allow a bit of extra time for arrival.

    Our guide Orion made this one of the most fantastic kayaking experiences we have ever had! We were able to see a manatee up close when it came up to check out our kayak. The beach on the island was clean and beautiful with lots of shells for beach combers. Orion is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the wildlife. We will definitely go back to do this tour again on a future trip!
