“Knowledgeable, fun, safe, friendly - A+ adventure!”

Reviewed April 29, 2012

I joined Kristen for a lunch tour on the St. Sebastian river last Thursday with 11 or so other kayakers. We paddled for nearly two hours through the jungle-like river, had lunch in a shaded sandy clearing on the river bank, and paddled an hour more. Kristen identified and told stories about all the stunning wildlife we saw - including... More

“Fantastic Real Florida Kayak Tour”

Reviewed April 23, 2012

Kirsten was an excellent guide and we had such a fun and adventurous kayak tour with her. We were a family with two boys (7 and 9) who were engaged and interested throughout the whole trip. We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife we saw, I think Kristen had a quick word with the local wildlife to ensure we had... More

The wildlife in the area are the stars of our trips! I don't know how or why we had such an amazing day- it isn't always sooo great. But we always see something. I have to give my parents the credit for teaching us, my siblings and me, how to look for signs of wildlife. I often say its magic... More

I took a kayak tour on the San Sebastian River with my sister-in-law, friend, father-in-law and three young children (6-8). We all had a blast and handled the paddling just fine. Kristen was so knowledgeable with the surroundings and pointed out such amazing things. We saw blue herons, cormorants, ibis, hawks, many other birds, turtles, a manatee, a GATOR, bromeliads,...

“EXCELLENT KAYAK ADVENTURE”

Reviewed March 5, 2012

It's only the 2nd time we've been in kayaks. Mike and Kristen are great at explaining the fundamentals and we felt like pros in no time. Our group included several children and our stop on a small island was fun and educational for all. Everyone picked up shells and, to add to the fun, Kristen then told us all about... More
