Highly recommended when visiting the Don Pedro area. The guides were very nice and knowledgeable. Could not ask for a better experience!!

Our guide, Kyra, was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, making the time we spent together comfortable. My husband and I used this company for the Pine Island adventure and we were so happy we had to book Don Pedro. After this experience we will most certainly book again!!! Thank you for such an amazing day.

Kelly had so much knowledge of the many areas we explored. Michael seemed to attract many manatees, and dolphins. We also learned about the neat jellyfish and sea stars. Total magnificent time.

Enjoyed meeting the resident raccoon and also several manatees! Guides were very friendly, welcoming and full of information about the area's ecosystems. They catered the tour to our specific interests and went out of their way to find marine wildlife and explain their role within the area's ecosystem making it an informative as well as fun kayaking experience.
