My husband and I had a wonderful experience. We had been considering buying a couple of kayaks and after this tour, we are in 100%. Prior to having little to no experience we were both made to feel very comfortable. Bryan had us kayaking like pros within minutes. Very clear with easy step by step demonstrations starting with getting into the kayak to using the paddles. Whether you have experience or not you will definitely enjoy the tour. The scenery is beautiful with dolphins, manatee, and jumping fish. We went on a Sunday at 10 AM and were thrilled to see nearby boats that were also in the water. Close enough to enjoy but distant enough to be comfortable with it. There were also peaceful coves to sit back and relax and just watch nature. I would suggest touring with Bryan and Ray. What a great team and went flawlessly. We will definitely be back again with our Family and friends. Whether it be touring with Bryan or renting a couple of kayaks for our guests. I give them an A+.
