Great family outing

Published on Feb, 2025

Logan was great and patient with our family. He went out of his way to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Highly recommend!

Great Family Adventure!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful time! Cricket was an amazing guide and handled our large group of 12 with ease. We saw manatees and dolphins up close and the alligator was a nice surprise. Highly recommend this adventure and cannot compliment Cricket enough.

Amazing!

Published on Nov, 2024

I booked the Wildlife Refuge Manatee and Dolphin Kayak or Paddleboard Tour and it amazing! Our tour guide was Cricket who was soooo lovely and accommodating right from the get-go. After the tour I was travelling straight to the airport so I had a big suitcase with me, and was worried about where I could put it as I don’t drive and just got dropped off by an Uber, so couldn’t leave it in my car. Cricket was soo lovely and offered to keep it safe in her car for the duration of the tour. At the end of the tour, she was also extremely helpful & nice with trying to help me book an Uber back as I didn’t have any internet. The actual tour itself was incredible and definitely exceeded all expectations. We got to see dolphins, birds, manatees, and even a rocket launch into space! Cricket was very knowledgeable and knew all of the best spots to go. She also took lots of photos for us during the tour which got emailed to us at the end. I would definitely highly recommend this tour! I booked a tour one week prior with BK adventures and I definitely can’t give them as glowing of a review as this one! And it was all down to Cricket! Having a great tour guide really makes all the difference. Thank you again to Cricket!

Noah was the best guide ever!

Published on Nov, 2024

Noah was an incredible guide! He was very knowledgable about about all of the animals we saw and the area in general. We saw dolphins, a small gator, and so many manatees!! It was such a wonderful tour.

Fantastic morning!

Published on Sep, 2024

Beautiful morning on the water! Noah is a wonderful guide - so knowledgeable. The manatees were active and plentiful. Highly recommend!
