Great Tour, Wonderful Tour Guide

We had a fantastic time! Louisa is a wonderful tour guide (and master paddle boarder) who filled our time with fun facts, great conversation, and an easy-going experience. Neither of us had paddle boarded before and she coached us to proficiency with ease. The water was calm, and while not all of the wildlife wanted to come say hi, we had a great time nonetheless. Will definitely be recommending this tour in the future!

Great way to end our vacation!

We had such a great time on our paddleboard tour! Louisa was fantastic—very communicative, confirmed day-of, and made sure we had clear directions to the meeting spot. She was wonderful with my teenage daughters and shared some fun facts and history about St. Pete and the Coffee Pot Bayou. She came prepared with water and sunscreen and even took some awesome photos of the group, which she shared with us afterward. I really appreciated that she asked for consent before posting anything on social media—a thoughtful and professional touch. We were lucky enough to see several manatees and even a solo dolphin enjoying the inlet. It was also really cool to see Bird Island up close. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, relaxed outing on the water with someone who really knows their stuff!

Great time!

We had a great time on our paddle board adventure and saw a number of manatees. Doo was friendly and a great guide. She brought sunscreen and water and even took pictures for us.

Manatee Sighting

Doo provides an amazing and informative tour. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife in the area. We saw a manatee, lots of local birds and a dolphin! She also made sure to go at our pace and let us enjoy the outing. I would rebook with Doo and highly recommended her tour!
