Just ok

The tour was ok. Guide was ok. We do a guided tour a couple of times a year when we visit and this one was ok. Our least favorite so far. Def no manatees or dolphins the water was only a couple of feet deep. The mangrove tunnels were great but it was very congested with the large group we were in

Awesome kayaking experience

Kenny was an awesome tour guide. We saw a bunch of manatees and birds. It is a must do in Sarasota. One thing that was uncomfortable was the seat of the kayak. Cushion could help. Wear hat and sunscreen for sure.

Wonderful time.

Ian was amazing. He was very informative and kept the trip fun and exciting. It was relaxing and the water was the perfect temp. The sun was HOT. Make sure to bring a large travel cup with ice and water and also another bottle of water you will want to keep hydrated. We will return next time in the area. Thanks for a great day Ian!
