Savvy and Bryce have built something special here, and it shows in how they run their tours. Guests consistently praise their local knowledge and ability to spot wildlife, from dolphins to jellyfish, while navigating through mangroves and creek channels. The clear kayaks are a huge hit, making it easier to see what's below and helping nervous paddlers feel more confident on the water. What really stands out is their warmth and patience—they create a welcoming, personal atmosphere that makes everyone from solo travelers to families with grandkids feel comfortable. The customer service goes beyond just the tours themselves. One reviewer had a booking mishap with a third-party company and found Savvy incredibly accommodating, going out of her way to make things right even though the error wasn't hers. Multiple guests mention returning for additional tours, particularly the bioluminescence experience, which gets rave reviews. If you're in the Daytona area looking for a peaceful yet engaging way to explore Florida's natural side, this outfit consistently delivers. The combination of expert guiding, well-maintained equipment, and genuine hospitality makes for memorable outings on the water.
It was a great kayaking experience. Bryce was an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable of the creek, nature and animals. And made the tour more personal and friendly. The whole team is very caring of the environment. It is a must do tour if you are visiting the Daytona area. We definitely recommend and would do it again.
