  Called Island Style on a whim on an unexpectedly warm, sunny March Sunday to see whether my husband and I might be able to get a kayak tour. After checking the tides and the weather forecast, Laurel called me right back and arranged to take us on a tour out of Ted Sperling.
  I have some kayak experience, my husband has less.
  We had an awesome, relaxing, informative three hour private tour. Laurel was on time, enthusiastic, safety-first, knowledgeable about history and natural history of the area, a great paddle instructor (clear and audible paddling tips tailored to the individual paddler's skill level). As a natural resource management professional in the Chesapeake Bay area, I especially appreciated Laurel's knowledge of local conservation history, her interpretive voice that I never struggled to hear, her respect of the environment and all its players, and her willingness to quietly but authoritatively manage traffic when needed to protect wildlife and avoid traffic jams.
  Saw great blue heron and osprey nests with chicks, great egrets, ibis, cormorants, a manatee, mangrove crabs, oodles of fish, and the mangrove tunnels, of course--very cool! Our kayak tour was the highlight of our 4 day visit to Florida, and I highly recommend Laurel and her business!
