There were no manatees. The guide searched for them, but to no avail. The title dolphins are rather a marketing trick. Despite the critical first sentences, we consider the family trip very successful. Alligators and mangrove forests will be remembered forever. A shorter option could be considered.

This was a blast! Wife and I booked this during our trip to Marco Island and kayaking through the Mangrove Tunnels was amazing. Victor was an amazing guide and kept us laughing throughout the whole trip. I highly recommend! But you better be in shape. Us oldens were making the youngens look old.

I would highly recommend! Very easy going tour, very informative guide. I have been going to Florida for many years but this was a totally new experience for me!

Very fun activity to do. The guide is enthusiastic and the scooters drive well. Seen a lot of beautiful things!
