We saw dolphins, oyster beds, we stopped on an island to rest, and St Augustine from the water. So very fun and we will be back for other tours.

Today we had the privilege to have a tour with Maciej who from the very beginning, made us feel comfortable even though we had no experience kayaking. He not only gave us a mini lesson with practice time as we ventured on, but with extreme patience was able to adjust the tour to our needs and never once did he made us feel like we were getting less of an experience. He was also really knowledgeable and the overall experience was amazing. We can't recommend this company enough. We can say without a doubt, we found a new activity to do whenever we are in town. Absolutely the best customer service we've received in years and would highly recommend.Maciej was such a great tour guide! We didn't have any experience kayaking and he helped us out and explained everything! We had a great time there and i would 100 percent recommend this! It's a great activity to do with friends and family!
