Bev’s Birthday
Beverly_F, October 2026
Kevin, our guide gave us a very enjoyable kayak trip. We arrived early and were able to get out right away. Nice rowing pace. He was knowledgeable about the area, and animals etc. We saw Dolphin, Rosetta Spoonbills, Pelicans, egrets, and more. We had 30 min to stop and go shelling. We would highly recommend this guided kayak tour.
Response from the operator · islandbreezekayaks Thanks for the great review. And we really appreciate you coming out. And getting to see our beautiful island

We had a wonderful time well worth the money our guide was great. Saw dolphins and lots of birds really enjoyed ourselves. The Shell Island had the best shelves we’ve ever been able to get. Will do it again.

My husband and I enjoyed the kayak tour. They brought us to an excellent shelling spot, and when we asked to stay longer they were more than accommodating. Kevin was very knowledgeable regarding wildlife. Definitely recommend.
Response from the operator · islandbreezekayaks The shelling on big Hickory is amazing. I'm so glad you found a bunch of keepers.

We enjoyed our Guided Kayak Tour. We were the only people on the tour so it was a private tour. Our guided, Kevin, did a great job leading us through all the mangroves.
Response from the operator · islandbreezekayaks Thanks for the great review.
