What To Expect
One of our fun and well-trained guides takes you through the island mangrove tunnels in search of wildlife. We typically encounter dolphins, osprey, pelicans and shorebirds, and are on the hunt for manatees during the warm water months (Mar-Oct).

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
