An experience for the books!

Alessia was absolutely phenomenal! Our private clear kayak and yoga tour was truly one for the books. She was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and courteous, making the entire experience both fun and informative. We saw so much wildlife and learned about the area’s history, its unique ecosystem, and how climate change has shaped it over the years. The private yoga session on the beautiful island was the perfect, peaceful addition to an already unforgettable experience. Alessia also went above and beyond by taking amazing photos and videos throughout the tour, allowing us to stay present and fully enjoy every moment. This was an incredible experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Great workout and connection with nature.

This is fantastic for couples or families including small children. It is totally safe. Alessia was a fantastic guide, providing background on all of the wildlife we saw. In addition about 12 species of birds, we saw dolphins, Manatee, and a baby shark. No.

Unforgettable Memories

Our guide, Raven, was absolutely amazing! She did such an amazing job at informing us on where things were and what was what. It was a very peaceful and beautiful atmosphere! The crowd size was very very minimal, there was lots of space. We seen so many different creatures! Raven also helped my husband and I find sand dollars, it truly was an unforgettable experience!
