Summary: Justin was very welcoming & knowledgeable about the area which made the experience even more enjoyable. He was great at teaching you how to get the best movements to make the kayak go more smoothly, just get ready to work out your arms. There were a lot of things to see & it was a unique experience. These guys will make everything worth it. Thank you Justin for an awesome time!

Summary: First time kayakers.....absolutely wonderful experience. Justin took the time to explain how we should be maneuvering our kayaks and took us on a challenging three hour tour which included a stop at a sandbar to find treasures. Highly recommend!

Summary: Me and my mom took a vacation in clearwater and we wanted to do clear kayaking. We got Justin as our tour guide and I can’t even find a word for our experience. He was amazing and he was informative and showed us lots of cool crabs and conch shells with crabs and other cool things! We went to bird island and the portion you can legally walk on, it was sweet! I would recommend Justin 10/10!
