We went on the dolphin cruise on the racer. We have been to 2 other dolphin cruises and never have experienced the views of dolphins. This trip was exciting we saw many, they jumped for us in the waves of the boat. My kids and grand kids had the best experience. If you visit St Pete Beach I recommend that you and your families do this.

Our excursion with Coastal Kayaks was worth every penny. The scenery, the wildlife, the sun and fresh air made for a perfect day. Brian was very knowledgeable and it was easy to tell he loves teaching and showing his guests what an eco tourism adventure should be. And the Dad jokes ....

We enjoyed our trip very much. JD and Bubba are retired coast guard and very knowledgeable. It was a relaxing and comfortable boat ride as well as educational. We will do another trip with them whenever we get back to St Pete’s!!!
