Shan T's is fabulous!! Michelle and Mark are such cool and friendly people who know the best places to kayak. The tour they took my family and me on was such a blast. One of the absolute best experiences that I had in Florida. You really feel like you're in a different world out in those mangroves. They're beautiful and... More

It literally was only 3 of us, since we never saw anyone else while paddling thru one of natures most amazing natural coastal habitats. Michelle was wonderful, both as a knowlegeable kayak handler and tour guide. Amazingly, she could... More

Today our group of 3 joined 5 others along with Michelle and Mark on a kayak tour. I had never been on a kayak and was a little nervous but as soon as Michele assured me she was right there I was put to ease. They were knowledgeable and fun to chat with. I had a great time as did... More

I cannot say enough about this spectacular tour company! Emailed Michelle late at night regarding the manatee tour and received an immediate response answering all my questions. Booked and paid via PayPal and promptly received directions and detailed information. Mark was waiting at the "launch site" and was extremely patient with my friend and eight year old sons who were... More

Having gone on this Eco Tour with Mark, we give this company an excellent review. He mixed information & quiet time to savor the environment, to finding specimens from the waters, to make this trip the best. From the time I spoke with Michelle Thorpe to meeting with Mark for our tour, the information and consumer friendly attitude is highly... More
