What Our Guests Are Saying
We spent a week in Cedar Key & loved our first tour so much we ended up doing every tour. We’ve been visiting & exploring Cedar Key for over 15 years, and Ryan showed us places we’d missed, taught us facts we didn’t know & shared stories we’d never heard. I’ve even taken friends to Cedar Key & done some of the tours with them & still learned new things. I promise you won’t regret it!
Kat Miller
Love this new addition to Cedar Key! A great tour with fun stops and lots of information for first time visitors or long time visitors alike! Highly recommend!!
Kendall Logan
I highly recommend any of the tours! If you’re visiting the island and wondering what there is to do – book the tour. There’s no way, as a visitor, you’d learn about or see as much of the island without the tour. I got to see dolphins on the nature tour.
