Family time Kayaking in the beautiful Mangroves!
Carrol_F
, Jun 2022
Gentry our guide was on time, friendly, very helpful and super knowledgeable about the wildlife and different mangroves that we seen. The different birds he pointed out were beautiful.
I never been on a kayak before and the waters were very calm. We seen 2 sharks, a manatee, a pod of Dolphins swimming and all sorts of fish.
The best part was when we went to Barefoot Beach and found small queen conch shells and sand dollars.
I appreciated that Gentry showed up on time and worked with all of our different abilities.
I would highly recommend this tour. Make sure you book for first tour in the morning because the sun can be brutal. Also, tip your guide well.
Thank you Gentry! We will see you again soon!

Nice but not much of an adventure

I was expecting an adventure winding through mangrove trees. The mangrove tunnel very short and a dead end path. Was advised this time of year (February) too cold for manatees and they are further up river. Did see lots of birds and it was peaceful (once we left the group as we were grouped with women who were more interested in the guide's life than the wildlife)
Response from Host , Mar 2022
This is not advertised as a manatee tour and there is no guarantee that you will see manatees as the website states. We let you know as well before booking the tour that a better chance of seeing manatees would be up in the orange river to the north. Also the guide informed me that you split off from the tour group and went off on your own. This isn’t acceptable as you could’ve gotten lost. Next time if you don’t want to be potentially slowed down by a small group of people you’re with on the tour, I would advise booking a PRIVATE tour instead of a group tour Next time and I would recommend booking a private tour with a manatee company that can guarantee seeing them this time of year. Also just getting a kayak rental sounds like something you should’ve gotten instead since you paddled away from the group on your own and could’ve gotten lost.
Amazing

Our whole adventure began with guide Jennifer sending us text messages with specific information as to her location and how to be prepared for the tour. After arriving we were greeted and set up in our kayaks (we chose individual but two- or three-person kayaks are available). Jennifer then led us on the tour while providing much information about manatees (one surfaced near us), other creatures and the mangroves. Beautiful two hours on the water.
Amazing

It was a very leisurely tour paddling in the mangrove tunnels and over oyster beds. We saw a few dolphins and a lot of beautiful bird varieties. Our guide was very informative and helpful. My only complaint was the group was too big ( 12 kayaks ) so we often couldn’t hear her. There was one spot where the mangrove tunnel was narrow Only 6 kayaks could go in at a time. While one group was in the Mangroves the other group just paddled around aimlessly for about 20 minutes.

Kayaking the waterways near Wiggins Pass and Barefoot beach is an awesome experience with a knowledgeable guide like Jennifer. She talked about the waterways, plant life, marine life and environment during our tour. She was truly a pleasure to travel and paddle with- highly recommend this tour.
Fun Family Kayak Tour

This kayak tour takes you down a small section of the Gordon River, through a peaceful mangrove tunnel, and then across Wiggin’s Pass, where you can stretch your legs with a quick walk on the Sandy beach. This is easy paddling with a knowledgeable and friendly guide who shares information about the mangroves and natural life in the waters you’re kayaking. This was a wonderful way for us as a fifty something, thirty something and two teenagers to spend two hours together. Highly recommend!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
