Worth every dollar! Best way to end summer!

Had a sunset kayak trip with friends and it was amazing! I’ve been kayaking before but truly this was wonderful. Our guide Nick was a gem, really informative and helpful. And we caught one of the best sunsets but the beach. Planning to come back with a bigger group and even family! 10/10 experience! I cannot recommend enough!

Great value tour

We had a great time! Alessia is very knowledgeable and a great guide! We were lucky and were able to see 2 manatees and 3 dolphins and many other wildlife species. Afterwards, we had late lunch at the restaurant nearby. It was also really good.
