We had a great time on the tour with our guide Danny! We went thru the mangroves and learned about the different types. Saw a variety of birds and fish. Ended the tour at the watch tower where we got some good pics of the mangroves. Would recommend!!

We had a great time paddling through the mangroves in Robinson Preserve. Danny, our guide, really made the experience memorable for us. Super personable, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about the wildlife we saw and the area in general. We particularly enjoyed the sandbar experience. Thank you for sharing the pictures and videos you took as well - we had a great time on the water!

Unfortunately we did not have a great experience. When we arrived at the meet up location, we couldn't find our guide. There was no signage telling us where he was. We finally resorted to asking one of your competitors in the parking lot where to find our guide.

We booked this tour hoping for an opportunity to see wildlife and see the beautiful scenery. Unfortunately we spent most of the 2 hours fighting for our lives. The current was so strong we did nothing but paddle frantically to keep from being swept away. The flat bottom tandem "kayak" was nearly impossible to steer. While our experience will make for a fantastic dinner party story we are unlikely to book with you again

I will say our guide was wonderful and did all he could to make it a good experience.

We had a wonderful and educational time on our kayak tour of Robinson Preserve this morning with Leslie. He was knowledgeable about the Preserve and its history and wildlife, knew the area well (in part since he had grown up nearby), and had wonderful stories to tell. He let us go at our pace and we very much enjoyed the tour!

Robinson preserve is among the most wonderful places to kayak. The quiet and mangroves are lovely. But our guide Katie really brought it to life. She spotted many birds and fish we never would have seen, all of which she was able to identify. She was also very knowledgeable about the ecology of Florida. And Katie was friendly and easy going and even remembered to take pictures of us at key points in the tour. Thanks, Katie, for making it a highlight of our trip.

What a great experience ! We learned so much about the preserve and the mangroves. Chris was an excellent guide, super informative and so light hearted and fun. It was beautifully peaceful on the water and we loved walking up the tower and seeing the preserve from up high. Thank you again for a day to remember and the photos Chris!

We had a great time exploring Robinson Preserve. Our guides Taylor, Matt and Ethan were exceptional, their knowledge and expertise added a whole other dimension to this experience that we would not have gotten without them. Definitely the high point of our trip to Florida. Truly a one with nature experience through the Mangroves. We saw a verity of aquatic life with the glass bottom kayaks and also as a bonus we saw a large number of birds. This tour also included a stop on a sandbar when we left the Mangroves and entered the gulf. Walking ankle deep on the sandbar we saw a verity of crabs, shells, and other aquatic life forms with detailed explanations by our guides. This a beautiful part of Florida that we did not expect to find. A definite add to your to do list!
