    a great experience

    Chris was very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. He is an ambassador for your company. We saw manatees and lots of birds and fish jumping. Very relaxing afternoon. The paddle thru the mangrove was amazing. Would highly recommend good value.

    I kayak was just as advertised. Quickly got us into the water and on our way. Easy drop off. Booked online and called later to push back our start time. Responded quickly and had no issues. Would highly recommend.
