A great 2 1/2 hour spent on Estero Bay. Tim was terrific and he knows the waters like the back of his hand. Saw 12-15 manatees and 2 or 3 dolphins fairly close by. Will definitely be going back to go out with Seaway Outfitters again

Tim is an amazing tour guide and extremely passionate about the waters that he shared with us. We saw lots of amazing wildlife including a huge manatee, welk, and shrimp. The weather was beautiful and we are looking forward to doing the tour again. Tim promised that we would see even more amazing wildlife. This is a must do in SWFL!!

We had a wonderfully educational and fun kayak tour of Estero Bay. Tim was a great experienced and friendly guide. There were only 3 of us and we managed to see manatees, dolphins, lots of birds and wonders of the bay.

I had a ‘private’ tour as summer in Florida is considered the slow season. I was able to chat with the guide for the entire time and learned so much about the estuary. The guide was so passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife. I was treated to so many wonderful sights including a manatee sighting, numerous birds and dolphins, and a rare miniature seahorse. One of the best experiences ever!!

Had such an incredible time with Tim. He is knowledgeable yet delivers information in a way that you don't feel you're being lectured. The tour was amazing and we saw so much wildlife. Had a perfect day with this Master Naturalist. We can't wait to return to the area and do another tour with him!
