My family (myself, my wife our daughter who is 10 and son who is 12) spent an incredible 2 1/2 hours paddling around Lido key with our guide Allan and five other couples. We saw numerous manatees who swam around, next to and under our kayaks. We also saw terns, Rosette spoonbills, ospreys, blue herons, egrets, urchins, sea stars, sea... More

Took the kids on the Lido Mangrove tour and had a great time; the guide was great, very laid back, relaxed and very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area and always happy to jump out of his kayak to pick up sea urchins, sea cucumbers etc for us to peer at in wonder. Would definitely recommend :-)

He pointed out various birds, and was able to show us a conch, sea cucumber, sea urchins... and we even saw a manatee and... More

Just took this trip today with 3 of our daughters, their significant others and grand-daughters a total of 13 of us did the Lido Mangrove Tunnels tour. The weather was great and Allen was the prefect guide. Didn't see any Manatee's or Dolphin's, but did get to see some sea life and hold them up close. Would recommend them highly... More

My family took the Lido Key Mangrove tour. It was a fun morning, we saw birds, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea stars etc. and we enjoyed the commentary from Alan through out the tour. It was a great way to see the estuary and mangroves.

Despite cooler weather, we really enjoyed this adventure! It was super windy so we used unfamiliar muscles to paddle against the wind at times, but that only added to the fun. The staff was very gracious- from Carrie calling the day prior to postpone due to unsafe conditions (early enough that we were able to make other plans), to the... More

My boyfriend and I were looking for a fun kayaking excursion while visiting my folks in Florida, and we're so glad we chose Almost Heaven, and especially happy Kelly was our guide. It was cold while we were there, so we were the only two clients, and Kelly made sure we got the opportunity to see everything we wanted while... More
