Great time on the water

What a fun way to spend a few hours. Fairly easy kayak trip, saw mangroves and manatees and tons of birds. Love the cormorants who keep you company on your paddle. Taylor is SUPER knowledgeable on the area and the wildlife. Highly recommend

Wonderful kayak tour experience!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on our kayak tour. From the moment we arrived, the guide was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable and safe while also sharing interesting information about the area, wildlife, and local history. The scenery was beautiful, and the pace of the tour was perfect—relaxed enough to enjoy the surroundings while still feeling like an adventure! We especially appreciated how attentive the guide was to making sure we were comfortable, and she seemed genuinely excited to be there! She even jumped out of her kayak to show us something cool she saw in the water, and helped us look for shark teeth! This tour was the highlights of our trip, and we left with great memories and a deeper appreciation for the area. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fun, enjoyable, and well-organized kayaking experience. Thank you for such a fantastic day!

Awesome Kayaking Adventure

We were lucky enough to have a private kayak tour with Taylor. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great experience on the water and going through the Mangroves. She took us to areas that provided a great experience viewing wildlife and she was very respectful of the environment . I highly recommend booking a kayak adventure with Taylor she was AWESOME!

Amazing

All of the reviews here say how amazing Taylor is…and they’re right! My trip was amazing and she had so much knowledge about the nature and wildlife there! Beautiful mangroves and sights. Smooth route that made it relaxing. 10/10 would recommend!

Awesome 3 hrs on the water learning about the wildlife and mangroves along

Taylor was our terrific guide through the mangroves and waters, answering questions and sharing all her knowledge about the mangrove forests and wildlife. Saw manatee nostrils, dolphins, friendly birds, and flying mullet fish. As it was high tide, shells on Shell Key were covered by the water but we still came away with some treasures. The water on the gulf side of Shell Key was so clear and beautiful that we spent most of the time wading in the water. Thanks Taylor for a wonderful experience and accommodating our last minute request to an hour earlier!
