| A friend and I booked the morning trip knowing it was going to be a struggle waking up and doing any type of physical activity. Lucky for us, we stuck with the plan. You can use the single kayak or the double. My friend and I opted for the double, just so we wouldn't get separated in the group, as we were still kinda tipsy from the night before, thus some uncontrollable giggles..aka "that lady just accidentally paddled my boca chica." Hilarious at the time. There were about 6 other people touring as well. Kayaking is easy. It is not strenuous at all. The only strain was the educational part of the tour. The guide is a smart cookie. Personally, my attention span wasn't holding up to standards 100% of the time. However I have great respect for all involved. We got to hold wild conchs and starfish. We explored inlets/creeks. It was so beautiful and an overall great experience. You can bring a regular camera. No worries. I smoked a cig....The morning tour is when you can take the best sun :-). Get out of the hotel room and do it....you'll be happy you did. I am. Props to the tour guide for being nice to us. | ||||||

| This tour was a unique opportunity for us to go into the mangroves at night to see and touch many of the creatures that live there. | ||||||

| If you have never kayaked but would like to, this adventure is for you. Before going out there is a containment area for practice. If you are afraid of being in deep water ... Chris does not take the tour to the ocean, and life preservers are standard equipment. Our guide (Chris?) was pleasant and gave both kayaking and nature instruction / information. The experience was unhurried as we paddled through walking tree canopies and in the open water stopping at bird gatherings, for close up encounters with sea animals that Chris netted from the water and for rest breaks. Although remaining relatively close, we were not paddling in a pack which allowed for self explorations. Chris is also very open to taking pictures with your camera upon request. | ||||||

| The morning kayak tour, while taking us out to the area we had explored at night, was still fresh for discovery. Again, the level of interpretation was great, all questions were answered and we really got a great amount of information. | ||||||

| Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided a format for exploration. Our only suggestion is that he find a way to communicate with the whole group. I lead canoe hikes and I manage to get my group together, face them and speak to them. If I talk to one or two people, then if it is worthwhile sharing, I group everyone and repeat the question and answer. We found it impossible to hear him and I know there are waves, wind and other factors that reduce the ability for everyone to hear. Otherwise, we truly enjoyed our eco tour and would recommend it to others. | ||||||

| We had a bit of wind and had never kayaked before our tour. James did a great job encouraging, redirecting and waiting for us. His description of the mangrove was informative, but the things he picked up from the water were what made it great! I won't spoil the surprise, but it was the best thing we did on vacation. Next visit, we'll do the night trip for sure. | ||||||

| I found that this tour is great for families. The romantic part I would leave to the couple's imagination. The area explored was very pretty and the subject was exactly what I wanted my 12 yrs old kid to see. She loved the entire tour. I would have prefer to be able to hear more of what the guide had to say of all the things but I understand that it is not easy to gather people around floating kayaks. All in all a great tour, definitely would do it again... many times. Cy | ||||||

Staff was not helpful or friendly

| While this tour is advertised as family friendly and beginner friendly, it was not the case. Except for a about a 3 minute intro at the beginning, no instruction was provided. When my children struggled at the beginning of the tour, the guide not even once paddled up to them to help or iinstruct, even when he was yelling at them that they were in the wrong area. He left all of the helping to my wife and I, who also had never been kayaking before. The trip itself is fun, not too challenging and beautiful. So it should be an ideal family experience except that the customer service was attrocious. My advice is that there are probably other operators who will give the same tour at the same price, but will give better service. Finally on an information note, the guide was knowledgeable, but very self righteous. As we chose to be on this tour because we were interested in the eco explanation, the guide would have been better advised not to treated the group with self rigtheous indignity. So, definately kayaking in this area is the thing to do, but go with a different operator, particularly if you are a family with children. | ||||||

| Informative, fun, and peaceful. Recommended except for the odd juxtaposition in learning about this unique eco system and hearing the naval jet planes screeching overhead. But of course that's certainly not the responsiblity of Blue Planet. It would also be great if they could find a less industrial launching point. My kids loved it and I was happy with the knowledge and passion of the tour guide. | ||||||

| From being picked up at our hotel, we had an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the entire outing. We saw wildlife, sea life, kayaked through mangroves, and even got to watch a storm off in the distance - all while floating along in our kayaks. SO MUCH FUN! Highly recommended!!!!! | ||||||

| We had a wonderful private tour as there were only the 2 of us booked at that time. Our guide James was very knowledgeable concerning the eco system and the environment of the Florida Keys. We experienced the wildlife and the natural beauty of the water. He was able to answer many of our questions and we would highly recommend taking this Kayak Tour | ||||||

Unattentive Tour Guide

| The sunset was beautiful and kayaking on the peaceful waters at night was cool. However, our tour guide was filled with sarcastic remarks and left us on several occasions. He was not very attentive to the group, only speaking to those who were right next to him. | ||||||
