Mary was our tour guide, and she was truly something special. I wish I remembered the captain's name because he was so kind and welcoming too, but Mary completely made the experience unforgettable. She went out of her way to connect with every single group and person on the boat, and especially the kids. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every little interaction. My son is 3 and usually stays to himself, but Mary picked him up, let him ring the bell, and everyone cheered for him--it was such a special moment that I'll never forget. As a mom, that meant everything* to me. The whole experience was so fun and interactive--we were waving or dancing every time we passed another boat, laughing nonstop, and just genuinely enjoying every second. The vibe from start to finish was so light, happy, and comfortable. The boat itself was super nice & spacious with comfortable seating, plus you could see everything from every angle, which made it easy to catch every encounter! Pro-Tip: come prepared with your best dolphin puns and your "dolphin call" because they WILL put you to the test This was hands down one of the best experiences we've had on Pensacola Beach. We will definitely be back, and I truly can't recommend it enough!!

We booked this tour through Viator a few days in advance. The team communicated ahead of time that…read morethe departure time could change or even be canceled due to weather. Our tour ended up being moved to an earlier time the day before. I did receive a couple of different text messages about the start time, which caused a little confusion on my end, but the crew communicated well and kindly waited for us before departing. The address synced perfectly with the gps to the exact departure location. Parking was free and available immediately by the dock area, but notes this will likely not be the case during peak tourist season. The tour itself was lovely. We had beautiful weather, and the crew was attentive and knowledgeable, sharing interesting history and stories about the bay throughout the ride. We saw dolphins and were able to capture plenty of videos and photos. This would be an especially beautiful tour to take in the evening to enjoy the sunset.

We ended up spending Thanksgiving weekend in Navarre Beach on a whim…read more With no preplanning done, we had nothing to occupy our free time. This is not a bad thing, but just the thing we needed. However, we found out we would be having unseasonably nice weather (even for Florida standards) during our time here so we wanted to do something fun. It was the day before Thanksgiving, and most of the SUP places had closed up for the season. Robert was the only one that returned my call. Personable and friendly from the jump, Robert said he could deliver SUP boards to us that morning, and he was coming from Pensacola. Robert asked what type of car we had, our height, and where we were looking to SUP. All of the questions so he could determine what accessories to bring to meet our needs. He offered to drop off the SUP boards anywhere we wanted to meet. But wanting to SUP at multiple areas, Robert hooked us up with a roof rack system so we could bring our boards anywhere we wanted. Robert showed up at our rental that morning with everything we could need to SUP; boards, paddles, life jackets, leashes, and a soft roof rack system. He showed us how to get the rack and boards on our car, and suggested places for us to not only SUP, but to visit for scenery/food. Robert gave us a map outlining historical areas of Pensacola, and must-not-be-missed restaurants, with suggestions of places to go, things to do. For pick-up, all we had to do was leave our boards outside and Robert came and picked them up. We had such a nice time on the boards, they were in great condition, and the roof rack system worked seamlessly. Everything was handled with ease, and Robert was easily reachable by text. I would definitely recommend Robert to anyone looking to SUP. Oh and their boards are dog-friendly!

We didn't know that there was no plan to setup our second day until we called Larry that afternoon since our chairs and umbrella were still chained up vs set up. He said he isn't setting up, nor refunding for the day that we had paid for already. We had expected it setup by the time we came back from the NAS, but we still went out and enjoyed the beach as best as we could that day with no chairs and just used our kids umbrella. It was stormy early the second day and windy the rest of the day, but the 3rd day was also extremely windy with no problems with set up.

We could see the ocean and feel the salty air hit our cheeks and sometimes tangle our hair but it was always something my family and I looked forward to. We met Sage and her family maybe four years ago. I was so impressed to learn that Sage was only a teenager when she founded her company. Her family supported her idea of supplying Navarre with bikes to maneuver around the quaint town. And it grew beyond bikes. Our time in Navarre was always with Sage Paddles on the itinerary after discovering how peaceful and memorable scooting around town afforded our family. We wanted to support Sage and her sweet family especially after we learned of her story. Sadly, as of last year they no longer have scooters available. We never quite got to the bottom of why but we have cherished the memories this small family owned company helped us create. And we fully recommend you heading on over there to book your paddle board and transportation needs. Fun fact: the movie Jaws was filmed in this small beach town.

So I recently went to Pensacola Beach on a four-day vacation with my girlfriend. We stayed in a…read morebeach house rented by a friend and his family. One of the days there we decided we wanted to rent bikes to ride. So I checked my trusty Yelp app and called around. Because of the recent Hurricane Sally and the fact that some of the bridges were out, the only place I found that actually had bikes for rent was The Fun Store. So I reserved three for my myself, my girlfriend and my friend. We showed up to The Fun Store. The employees there were all very friendly (everyone we met in Pensacola seemed to be). They set us up with three bikes. When we went outside to get our bikes, it turned out that my bike had a flat rear tire. I was kind of surprised they didn't check this before giving us the bikes but not too big a deal. I told an employee and he took the bike back to replace the tube on the rear tire. I'm not sure why but it took a long time. Usually, an experienced bike person can change out a bike tire in no time at all. Anyhow, eventually we got the bike back and we took off. We rode for a while and saw some of the beautiful sites along Pensacola Beach. We eventually started back to the shop. At about six miles out from The Fun Store, all of a sudden it got much harder to pedal. I initially attributed this to the wind. At about four miles out from The Fun Store my friend informed me that my back tire seemed to be going flat. Sure enough it was. I was able to pedal a little further but, after not too much more time, the tire was completely flat and I was just riding on the rim. I got off the bike and had the pleasure of pushing it several miles back to the shop. When I got to the shop and told them what had happened, they were sorry but never offered any sort of refund, credit or anything else. Let's recap. The tire was flat when I got the bike. They took it for quite a while and supposedly changed the tube. Then about three miles out the back tire went flat again and I had to walk the bike the remaining distance to the shop. Despite that they didn't offer any refund at all. As nice as they were at The Fun Store, I can't give them more than a two star review. It's unfortunate because their employees really were all friendly. I would not use them again unless I really wanted to rent a bike and there were no other options.

Such a gorgeous ride, it was about 19 miles RT from Pensacola Beach. I recommend you bring spf wear and lotion, an spf hat, some trail mix or something to snack on, and definitely some bottled water. We brought the spf wear and the hat, but nothing else and were fools. Oh yeah, and in case you did not know like me, the tops of your hands will burn, so be sure to cover or lotion those as well. Duh! If you need to rent a bike like we did, rent from The Fun Store, easy peasy friendly and affordable. Also, if you plan to make a day of it, bring your beach stuff too, plenty of gorgeous shore to park yourself on. If you have no accessories, The Fun Store has everything you need. Things to know about the fort, there are bathrooms, some water fountains, a ferry in season, bike racks, a fishing pier, a book store. The lady that works the book store does take a lunch, so she may step out mid day for a break. Also, this is the most important tip, the book store does carry sun tan lotion, and had just added a bottled water machine - hallelujah! That was my saving grace and thank you again to the nice lady working the book store that saved me. As for the fort itself, if you like forts, or civil war history, then you will be right at home.

I cannot recommend Eva highly enough. She met me one May morning at a kayak launch in a lagoon in…read morethe Gulf Shores State Park. Her truck was loaded with three kayaks she was renting that morning. After a few introductory tips to the kayakers, they paddled away, and she hauled two paddle boards over to the water. I then had an utterly fantastic yoga class on a paddle board. Had not done that before and it's pretty challenging. But what a great way to get exercise and work on your balance. I was hoping to rent a SUP from her at her Pensacola location--she says it's prettier there than where we met--but the weather forecast wasn't rosy. She said she would text me after a couple of days to let me know if there were a window in all the storms we've been having. She texted as promised, but we weren't able to make it work. I'll be back soon enough and will definitely take advantage of her expertise.
