Awesome experience even though it was a little bit windy but once you got into the refuge, it was perfect and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Thank you, coming back as soon as possible.

We had a wonderful experience and will definitely go again. Ty, our guide, was so nice and had tons of area and wildlife knowledge! There were six in our group. Everyone at Tarpon Bay Explorers was so friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

We were on vacation in Sanibel Island and stopped in at Tarpon Bay Explores. We rented paddle boards and kayaks and had a blast. The workers were outstanding and were able to give great instruction for us first time paddle boarders. A great experience, would definitely do it again.
