Seaway Outfitters

My girlfriend and I did a morning tour with Tim and Erik today, and it really was amazing! Tim gave us a very energetic description of everything we saw while making our way into the estuary and through a canal in the mangroves! We saw some dolphins, ospreys fighting over a freshly caught fish, many pelicans, and then all the creatures Erik found while we were with Tim. I can't think of a better way to have spent our morning! These guys really enjoy what they do and are very proud of it, as they should be!

Tim was amazing! It was basically the coolest adult field trip. He ensured our group was safe the entire time as well. He taught us soooo much about the estuary and the wildlife. He snd Joanie showed us so many adorable little fish, conch, shrimp, and crabs. We saw several dolphins and had some once in a life time experiences with them up close. Tim is so passionate about the estuary and the wildlife and protecting it. It was so incredible. He completely changed the departure time to work with our group as well which was so kind. And he took loads of photos for us. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

If you love to learn and adventure- this tour is for you!! Seriously, book it! It’s the best in the business!! Tim and Eric took us on a private guided kayak tour where we saw 30+ species! They took the time to answer all of our questions. We were able to see a calf manatee that came up to our kayak, mom and cub dolphins, a horseshoe crab, miniature seahorses, upside down jellyfish, and so much more! Through the tour you gain such an appreciation for the ecosystem around you and the diversity of life. It truly is such a blast. Tim and Eric know a lot and love sharing their passion with others. We will certainly be back for another tour!!!

My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed this kayak tour of Estero Bay. Tim and Eric were the best tour guides one could hope for. They worked hard to find as many unique wildlife species as possible for us on the trip. By the end, we had to have seen at least 35+ different species of wildlife, each accompanied by an expert explanation from Tim & Eric. Dolphins, manatees, horseshoe crab, seahorses, jellyfish, crabs, snails, you name it, these guys put us onto it! If you are contemplating going on this tour vs one of the other wildlife tours offered in the area, book this one, it's simply the best.

There are so many tours to choose from, but I chose this because of the vast knowledge and experience Tim offers. His passion and dedication to wildlife is remarkable and genuine. Tim being a naturalist and conservationist definitely helps his credibility and he was so fun and friendly! We can all be a part of the change to help the marine life and preserve our world!

This was by far one of the best experiences I have had in my life! Our tour guide Tim checked off things from my bucket list. Tim was an amazing tour guide. He made sure we saw everything possible that was there. We saw so many dolphins and súper up close!! One even next to my kayak! We also saw so many manatees. Tim did a great job informing us everything about the manatees and about the little sea creatures he went above and beyond in finding for us! He found seahorses, shrimps, crabs, hard sponges, and more. I super highly recommend this kayak tour.

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I purchased the tour through a Groupon after reading all the positive reviews online. The reviews were correct! 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 on the water and learned so much about the wildlife and estuary. I've never had a tour guide who was so passionate and knowledgeable about a subject matter. Also, I was treated to so many wonderful sights! There was a manatee sighting, bird sightings, and numerous dolphin sightings throughout the entire tour. At one point there were six dolphins swimming around our two kayaks, within five feet of us, seeming to play in the water right alongside with us. Lastly, there were the funniest birds that the guide had befriended from being on the water each morning. The birds swam right alongside us for much of the tour with their playful antics, flying and diving right around us getting their morning meal. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys nature and is looking for a beautiful morning out on the water.

I highly recommend going on the kayak tour. Tim was amazing and took his time to give us cool facts the entire time. He took us around the bay and showed us amazing sea critters that we’ve either never seen before or didn’t know what it was. Tim was very energetic and made the entire experience one to remember.

We just did a tour on our vacation to Little Hickory Island last week.. had a great time! The guys are prompt, ready, and super informative. In addition to that they had great stories particularly about Simon the Alpha Bull Dolphin of Estero Bay. I would definitely recommend this highly interactive experience!
