Lockland was an amazing guide with so much knowledge on the area and wildlife we encountered. From the birds and mangroves to the manatees and even restaurant suggestions, he knew it all. The highlight was seeing 2 manatee and having them come over and check our boats out and just hang out with us for about 20 minutes. It was magical. Highly recommend. The company was easy to work with and very attentive also.
We had a great time kayaking the mangroves. Saw lots of birds and creatures in the water. Our guides, Lachlan and Jonah, were awesome. Very knowledgeable about what we saw and very personable. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
Very fun kayak tour with Andrew. Seeing the mangroves and all of the birds was a great experience. Would definitely do again.
Awesome family trip! Ben was a great guide and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. It was our first trip to Anna Maria Island and we can't wait to go back to book with these guys again. Highly recommend 10/10!
Our mangrove kayak trip was an incredible experience from start to finish. Ben, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire trip both fun and educational. He shared so many fascinating insights about the mangroves and the local wildlife that we never would have noticed on our own. Paddling through the peaceful mangrove tunnels was beautiful and relaxing, and thanks to Ben, we came away with a much deeper appreciation for this unique ecosystem. If you’re looking for a memorable outdoor adventure with a great guide, this trip is a must-do!
Lachlan was a great guide on our kayak tour he’s very informative about animals and everything wildlife. We had a great time! Would highly recommend

Had a wonderful informative experience on our Mangrove tour. Lachlan was an amazing guide who used his pleasant laid back personality to explain the nature surrounding us.
We spent a great time on a water!!! Fast communication, easy to book. We had two guides that told us about mangroves and some interesting fact about marine life. Thank you! Definitely recommend.
Awesome park with lots of wildlife to see and clear marked and will maintained paths.
Our experience was excellent!! Lachlan was our quise and he went the extra mile and got my phone that I accidentally after I drop it in the water while Kayaking. The euipement was great, we saw several mantees and learn all and more about Robinson preserve.I highly recommend this tour to all.
What a great activity! So nice, well organized—kudos to our guides and thank you for this perfect day 👌🏼☀️🐬
Very peaceful kayak through the preserve. We did the sunset 5:30-7:30 slot which was very pretty. Only saw a few birds though, but the tour guide Locklan was great!
Nice kayaking through the preserve. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Did not see much wildlife other than birds. Thankfully our guide gave us a tip of a spot we could drive to and see manatees afterwards.
Our guide, Lachlan, was lovely and knowledgeable. He made our morning trip relaxing and fun as he shared information about the mangroves and local bird species. It also wasn’t too hot since we went early! What a special experience!
My family and I had such a wonderful time kayaking the preserve. Lachlan was a great guide and very informative. We definitely will do it again!
Lachlan was extremely knowledgeable and a great tour guide! He told us all about the mangroves, the birds and wildlife in the area, and was just fun to be with! We were in town for a wedding and this was a great way to spend the morning. Thank you guys for a great trip!
We had Tommy as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and able to point out lots of wildlife we would’ve missed otherwise. You can tell he is passionate about what he does! I definitely recommend booking a trip.
We did the dolphin and manatee experience and it was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the marine life and the mangroves . He tried his hardest to show us some manatees. We did get to see numerous dolphins! I would recommend this tour. I want to give a shout out to Thomas who was very friendly and helpful.
Our tour guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable about the nature and wild life. He was patient with those who were new to kayaking. He spoke loud enough so all could hear. He clearly knew what he was doing. We were definitely in good hands. The tour lasted pleasantly longer than expected. We had 7 in the party. The sights were beautiful! Well worth the registration fee for the experience.
Even though we loved the mangroves do you know what we loved most was the great tour guide a fellow bradentonian “Kinsey.” He had a great attitude with us new bies kayakers. I would 100% book with him again and only him. Kinsey is the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.
Kinsey is awesome. He is very knowledgeable about the area, and wild life. He is engaging with the clients and made the experience memorable.
It was such a great experience. Kinsey is so knowledgeable. We were able to learn how all the nature works. The water is clear and calm. We saw many different birds. It was a nice feeling. It is worth it to spend money on nature here. Keeping nature healthy is definitely important for humans.
We had such a great evening exploring the bay and mangroves - this company is very informative and easy to communicate with! I’m 6months pregnant and this was a perfectly safe excursion at sunset to enjoy.
Great tour! Tommy was awesome and he took some great photos of us, highly recommend!
We enjoyed our kayaking through iRobinson preserve. Our guide, Tommy, kept it fun and shared a lot of interesting information about the mangroves, birds and aquatic life.
Tommy and Blaze were awesome! Super fun and friendly. Great tour of the mangroves. Good location easy to get in and out. We Will only be using these guys from now on!!!
Such a fun and beautiful tour! Tommy was a very good guide! I would definitely recommend going!
I’m glad we chose this kayaking activity for the family. A lot of fun. Our guide was Tommy he was very informative, knowledgeable, and fun.
It was super fun and Tommy was awesome. Definitely recommended.
Tommy did a great job of showing us the wildlife and making it fun! I would highly recommend this for families of all ages!
We had a great time! Kenzie is an engaged, informative, and fun guide. He told us the history of the area pointed out wildlife and generally madethe entire experience a great time. It really is a beautiful and unique way to experience. Robinson‘s preserve I highly recommend it
This is not a strenuous paddle. You can be a beginner & really enjoy this. You’ll see many different types of birds in the mangroves. Benjamin shared a lot of interesting information about the ecosystem with our group.
Such a beautiful afternoon spent exploring the mangroves! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about all the birds, fish, trees and other inhabitants.
Kinsley was very personable and knowledgeable! The ride was scenic and relaxing. The boats were easy to handle. Highly recommend
Ben was fantastic! Really knew his nature! Laid back and perfect weather!!!
We had a wonderful kayaking adventure at Robinson Preserve this evening. The water was calm and the setting was gorgeous! Kinsey did an amazing job! He was the perfect blend of knowledgeable and fun/silly. Really enjoyed everything about the excursion. Highly recommend!
Very nice kayaking trip through the mangroves and saw lots of birds! Our guide was great, Kinsey
Relaxed, informative, fun. Kinsey great leader who knows the area well and gives information about the area and wildlife in a fund and engaging manner. Liked it so much we signed up for a second tour to see dolphins
Tom and my guide, Ben, were so easy to communicate with. They confirmed with me in the morning of the tour and followed with an email confirming where to meet. Then when Ben was caught in a construction zone, he let me know his status. Ben was very passionate and knowledgeable about the birds, plants, fish, oysters, snails in the preserve. It was truly a memorable experience. I will definitely book another tour when I return. Ben also took photos for me and sent them to me at the end of our adventure.
Kinsey led our small group through the mangroves of Robinson Preserves with energy and enthusiasm. He was an expert guide in mangrove and bird facts, safety conscious, and intent on providing us with the best experience possible. We saw white pelicans, herons, osprey, Ibis, jumping mullet, climbed an observation tower, and were told of a nearby park to spot manatees. (Some moderate paddling against the wind in open areas). If you’re lucky, he might just burst into the song—“Secret Tunnel”. Organized, friendly, funny, commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Florida Blue Adventures.
Kinsey was a great guide. He was gracious, knowledgeable, funny and helpful the whole time. The journey is advertised as 90 minutes; the first 15 minutes or so are on land getting sorted, but they don’t eat into your time, so you do actually get at least 90 minutes in the kayak/going up the Robinson Preserve tower. We had 2 kids under 10 who had a blast as well. Be prepared for your tush, feet and maybe a bit of sleeves/calves to get wet and enjoy every second!
Florida Blue Adventures was really proactive in moving our tour to avoid the worst of the wind/cold. We had a great time and learned a lot about local wildlife/plants from our tour guide, Kinsey. He was great with our kids and engaged them with questions/facts. We would do it again!
It was a realy nice and fantastic natural Tour. We saw the nature from Florida. Ben, our TOP Guide Show us a Manateeplace and explore the mangrove System perfectly. Congrats to this tourguide
Excellent job!!! Loved Ben! Very knowledge!!! Great experience, he knew all the plants and aquatic animals. He was very helpful too.
Kenzy and breadstick were awesome! They were helpful, friendly, patient and funny. They helped my grandsons 13 and 10 with catching crabs, learning about nature and being a great nature lover role Model….
Tommy was very personable, communicated well in advance of the tour with location and timing. He began with a short paddling lesson. He provided running commentary about plant and animal life and area history. The kayaking was easy on calm water. We ended up being on the water for almost 2 hours. Very enjoyable for a couple in our 60s.
Lachlan was so professional and gave us many details that made our tour fun and informative! We got to see a mother and baby manatee and another single one! We climbed the viewpoint and saw many sea creatures he told us about! Great, hardworking guy with a bright future in anything he puts his mind to!
Hopes exceeded expectation to see Manatee. Had a wonderful Kayak tour with Lachlin as our tour guide. very informative about the wildlife. Saw Manatee mama and baby first then another couple of Manatee, and marching crab. Would definitely recommend.
