Absolutely amazing and forever memorable! Scott is a knowledgeable and friendly guide, who took us first in the open waters then in fascinating mangroves off the coast of Tierra Verde to Shell Island Preserve. I learned so much about this fascinating ecosystem. We saw a variety of wildlife including dolphins, osprey, crabs, jumping mullets, and much more. I think the $45 per person price is ridiculously low for a 3 hour adventure, so we tipped appropriately! I strongly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking adventure with Scott and Carissa. Carissa helped with questions as we were booking. Scott was a great guide and shared his enthusiasm for the area. Kayaking through the Mangrove tunnels was amazing.
I would highly recommend this excursion.

This is the BEST kayak tour I've ever had: We paddled wonderful kayaks among the cormorants, collected seashells, saw an osprey, ibis and sand pipers, paddled through a mangrove forrest and all the while Scott was offering bits of information about the history of the place, or the biology of the critters above and below the water, or an explanation of the result of some process. Truly a bargain!

Scott and Christy are great kayaking tour guides. In that they grew up and live in the area, they are very knowledgeable about the Shell Keys ecosystem, the history of the Shell Keys along with the local area.

A very pleasurable day kayaking. An easy paddle for even first time kayakers.

Best kayaking tour ever. Scott was helpful, knowledgeable and fun. His personal stories added to the adventure. They both attended to the guests needs. The scenery was spectacular and we learned a lot in the process. From beginning to finish, every detail was taken care of...they even carried bags so we could collect shells. Loved the mangrove tunnels. Kudos to Carissa for assisting our grandson when he got a bit tired and panicked by rougher waters at the very end. Would do it again!

Scott and Karissa are excellent guides! Super friendly and so knowledgable about the area and local wildlife. We would definitely book with them again and try another tour. We did the 50/50 Shell Key tour and enjoyed both the kayaking and the beach time.
