Logan, Emmitt, & Kai were great guides! Such a fun kayak trip… saw some manatees, dolphins, other animals, & enjoyed the break at Beer Can (Greer) Island. The guides were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice on places to eat and other stops we should make while in Anna Maria… Tide Tables was delicious, btw. Thanks for a great trip!
It was a great experience with my granddaughters and their moms. Emmett and Andrew were awesome tour guides and added to the full experience. We saw several manatees
Andrew was an excellent guide. Safety directions were clear. Trip well organized.
Excellent!!! Thank you!!!
Our guide Andrew was amazing. We saw 2 manatees, but it was all so pretty it would have been great even if we hadn’t.
Amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Logan was a great tour guide. We had 2 other guides with us who were also helpful. We saw 2 manatee and dolphin swimming just beneath/beside us. A little walk on an island with some pretty shells was a nice little break before kayaking back. The water was calm. Beautiful views. The whole family really enjoyed it.
Great wildlife encounters!!! We are so happy you enjoyed your tour with Logan and the guides!!! Thank you!!!
If you are on the fence, this is your sign to BOOK IT NOW!! Our family of 6 had a blast! The guide was super interactive and knowledgeable. We saw dolphins, a variety of other creatures and manatees. The staff provide everything you will need! We kayaked four miles with ease. You will not regret the experience!
Fantastic!!! We are so happy you had such a great experience with us!!! Thank you so much!!!
Andrew was an excellent, knowledgeable tour guide who kept everything engaging and fun throughout the experience. We were lucky enough to see a group of manatees, which made the trip even more special. Traveling with a family of six can sometimes be hectic, but everything about this tour was smooth, relaxing, and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Excellent!!! We are thrilled you had a great experience with Andrew and the manatees!!! Thank you!!!
Fun couple of hours kayaking the bay and walking the beach/shoreline looking for manatees and dolphins. Kinsey was a great guide, very informative and easy going. We spotted a baby dolphin learning to hunt with its mother as well as a few manatees. Even without the wildlife, the kayaking alone was worth the money. 10/10 would recommend.
Excellent!!! We are so excited about the baby dolphin and manatees!!! Thank you!!!
Andrew and Allie were fantastic tour guides. We saw a manatee, several dolphins, and cool sea creatures. Both were really knowledgeable about the ecosystem. The best part was swimming at the sandbar. My whole family really enjoyed this, and would love to do it again.
Spectacular!!! We are thrilled your whole family had a great time with Andrew and Allie!!! Thank you so much!!!
I made the best decision to go with this tour! Easy to navigate, very clear instructions, and Kinsey is an amazing tour guide. I learned so much about the wildlife and you can tell Kinsey loves the community in Anna Maria Island. We saw so many manatees and got to take some good breaks to rest and relax. If I’m back here again I know who I’m calling to book with for a tour.
Wonderful!!! We are so happy you saw so many manatees with Kinsey!!! We would love to have you back next time!!! Thank you!!!
