My wife and I had a blast on our Kayaking tour, we will certainly do it again and have advised our family and friends to do the same. Our guides were super knowledgeable on the sea life, currents and beaches of 10,000 islands making this excursion the highlight of our vacation.
We had such a great time with Laura and Mike and I can't thank them enough! After booking, you will get an email from Viator with a bar code and further information (time, directions) just be sure to scroll down. They plan your trip around low tide to ensure you will get the best shells possible. I couldn't believe the condition of the shells we found, they were just pristine! The amount of shells out there is just out of this world, the pictures do it no justice. We looked for specific shells and still managed to go home with 17 lbs packed into our carry on (I recommend bringing an extra luggage bag for all your treasures). We also learned so much from Mike about sea life, shells, birds and the eco system. He is so knowledgeable and has a passion for his work, thank you for taking the time and effort in teaching us so much. A great time was had by all and I just wanted to thank you guys one last time!
