We had a great time. Unfortunately, the manatee decided to go elsewhere on our day, but we still had a great time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything! The birds, the water, the trees - it was so wonderful to learn from him and to see his passion about the environment and the wildlife.
Manatee' in the wild !(Bucket list - CHECK !)

Steven and Bowser led a fun and informative kayak tour of the Lover's Key Mangroves. My wife and I are experienced kayakers but on this tour were some first timers who were instructed and did a great job at keeping up and staying dry. We hoped to see manatees and Steven found them, scratching an item from my bucket list of seeing manatees in the wild. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone.
Great educational paddle at Lovers Key

Karen was awesome. Kept myself and my two teenage daughters entertained on the waterways of Florida pointing out the natural habitat, birds, and our up close sighting of manatees. Tour is for everyone, kids to adults. Waterways are calm. No strenuous activity and it was perfect for all walks of life. Would highly recommend Karen, she is easy-going fun and makes the trip informative and relaxing. She includes bonus photos at the end!
Awesome time!

My wife and I had our family visiting, and we really enjoyed ourselves! My Daughter and her family (son-in-law and 3 grandchildren, ages 7-14) had an incredible time! Our guide, Steve was incredibly knowledge and his enthusiasm for his work and passion for the Keys' environment were infectious! The "close up and personal" Manatee adventure was awesome! We were very lucky and blessed to have had those Manatees around us! Absolutely recommended! Take lots of sun screen!
Great experience

Our kayaking tour was fabulous. We were so fortunate to see manatees galore - an experience not commonly had by kayakers. Our grandchildren were ecstatic at seeing so many up close. Our guide, Karen, was outstanding. She was well informed, very friendly, took a personal interest in each of us, called each of us by name, and generally conveyed to us how much she enjoyed us and her work. It was a great experience all around.

Stephen showed us many different types of wildlife and told us a lot about the area. We saw mullet, cone jellies, shrimp, a spider crab, a baby flounder, and some hermit crabs. His little dog Bowser came along on the ride and had a great time too. Such a fun experience!

If you get a chance you need to book this tour! Stephen was an excellent tour guide! He took his time to point things out that we wouldn't have seen if we were out kayaking by ourselves. He was great at explaining the different things we encountered. You will not be disappointed if you book with him!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
