If you are looking strictly for wildlife, I'd book another tour as there isn't anything to see here, at least not for us and it's a very high boat traffic area”

“Our guide, Tommy, was very knowledgeable, informative, and extremely capable at kayaking and guiding. The best memories were the many dolphins we saw (many very close to our kayak), fish jumping out of the water, and pelicans swooping down to grab fish. The sunset and associated pictures were also beautiful. The trip expense was reasonable and the experience was well worth the money. The trip requires some exertion to paddle the kayak but it's well worth the effort.”
