They were prepared with a short instructional experience to teach us how to fish, with lots of good guidance for the new fisherman. But best of all, they were very accommodating when we had had enough, and brought us back to shore when our tummies were a bit seasick. Michael prepared and catch so that we could take it to a local restaurant for dinner, and both taught us a great deal about the local fishing and islands experience. Thanks to them, we had a great fishing day, and next time we come to visit we will certainly try them again. I highly recommend them especially if you would like a more intimate and private experience.

At least a dozen maybe more! If you want to see a genuine smile and excitement on someone's face put them on a shark in Guy's boat. Just an absolute blast. We have been doing charters in Marco a few times and they have always been more money and less fun than with Guy. We will NEVER go out with anyone else.

Reel Kind Fishing and Shelling

Shelling in the Ten Thousand Islands has been a bucket list item for years, so when I finally…read morecarved out a time that I could spend a weekend here, I was so excited. I ended up booking two four hour excursions with two different companies - one on a Saturday and one on Sunday. I would be curious what the difference would be. Of the two, Reel Kind was the more "low key" version and a bit more disorganized. A four hour tour is $130 per person + gratuity (paid in cash to the captain). Compared to my other experience, I kinda felt like we just got dropped off and told to come back "when you're done." It's about a 15-20 minute ride out each way to some of the various islands / mangrove islets. The boats are small, captains only carry licenses that allow them 6 passengers so that's a plus - no huge groups. Timing is based on low tide schedules so every day will be a different time. This particular day we went to Kice and Dickmans. Kice was great shelling; after about 1.5 hrs, most of us were "done" (it was brutally hot) and we just all kinda of made our own way back to the boat. Then once everybody showed up, we were taken over to the next spot a few minutes away. Dickmans ended up being a bust. Overall, a decent basic experience if you just want to be taken back and forth. Our captain was very nice, but not very informative or helpful.

It was one of the best family experiences we've had, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Starting with the location, the resort is conveniently situated right off I-75 and is impossible to miss. The property is huge and offers plenty of parking. My only minor complaint is that there is very little shade in the parking lot. Check-in was quick and easy. Kirsten at the front desk was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She answered all of our questions and made the arrival process seamless. Upon check-in, every guest receives a pair of wolf ears, which is a fun touch and makes everyone feel like part of the "pack." Our toddler was celebrating a birthday a few days later, so we purchased the birthday package, which was under $40 and absolutely worth it. It included two large balloon displays, a birthday poster, a special birthday wolf plush, birthday wolf ears, and a bag filled with toys and treats. One of the coolest perks was the included birthday cup, which could be filled at the candy bar in the gift shop. Our toddler loved leaving with a cup full of gummy bears! The resort's app is also very helpful. It provides a schedule of all the activities happening throughout the day. There are so many kid-friendly events offered in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The lobby itself is incredibly interactive and comes alive at night with story time, dance parties, and other entertainment. It's truly something you have to experience in person. The resort also has dining options on-site, including a full-service restaurant and smaller food spots such as Dunkin'. Of course, the biggest attractions are the Adventure Park and water park. The Adventure Park includes a ropes course, arcade, mini golf, bowling, and more. During our short stay, we spent our time in the arcade and water park. The arcade was a lot of fun and reasonably priced. Everything is loaded onto a prepaid card, making it easy to add money, track credits, and store tickets for prize redemption. The water park was the true standout. It is massive and has something for every age group. There are multiple play areas for younger children, exciting slides for older kids and adults, a lazy river, a wave pool, and a giant tipping bucket that drenches everyone below. And that's just the indoor water park. Outside, there is another large pool with a beach-style entry that gradually gets deeper. There are lounge chairs positioned right in the water, which made for a very relaxing experience. The outdoor area also includes a hot tub, bar, and convenient restroom facilities. One feature I especially appreciated was the wide variety of complimentary life jackets available for children of different ages and sizes. Being able to use them throughout the park was such a great benefit for families. Honestly, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. From the staff and activities to the water park and family-friendly atmosphere, Great Wolf Lodge delivered an incredible experience. We are already planning our next trip back!

The look on my grandkids faces was priceless. So I will suffer with another virus for them. We did a 2 night stay by using a Groupon. Thank you Groupon. It made it affordable which is always a plus. The only reason I gave it a 4 is the overall affordability. It's a very pricey place. You pay for everything outside of what you pay for your room. Thank goodness it includes the waterpark passes. That was primarily why we were there. And we all enjoyed every minute. Outside of the water park we spent a lot of time in the Arcade. It was a lot of fun. A lot of tickets won and they walked away with some great prizes. Over all our stay was good. Room was nice and spacious. And comfortable. The activities on the lobby for the kids were great. Especially the story time. Watching our 2 year old grandson enjoy that was priceless.

This place has gone downhill EXPONENTIALLY! the photos shown on this app are incredibly misleading…read more They're all outdated and none of them are remotely close to what you actually see. This place used to have crazy fun stuff like this waterfall in the pool for example. It felt luxurious and felt fun to be at even for all ages. But now every single aspect that was fun about the park has been stripped away. For example; the lazy river used to be fast and fun with buckets of water dropping on your head and water spraying and pouring above you with fun stuff to do with people everywhere, but now the river is fully empty and not one bucket or water pipes that leak water onto you are there. When I say zero I mean ZERO! Instead you've got this barren wasteland and husk of what it used to be. (Not to mention but the river is a bit TOO lazy. You barely move forward!) don't even get me started on the rebranding! There used to be this cool turtle guy who was the mascot and things were actually THEMED after him with like lily pads and turtle themed attractions; but now it's this stupid alligator guy who does not look welcoming or full of fun at all. Oh my god and the fountain sprinklers they used to have just don't even work. Like they're there but they just don't turn on at all and it used to be a big attraction there but now it's just dead. I can genuinely name 100 more things that were so much better then whatever lackluster amalgamation they have going on there. This park used to be fun and exciting, but everything that defined the park is gone. If you went there before it all went down the drain you'd know. It's really hard to explain how great this park used to be to someone who's only gone within the past year but it was truly magical. We need to get this park back to its former glory. But until this park gets its s*** together, don't go.

When we visited, there was no "swamp" to be seen for much of it, and I've been many times so I knew where the water was supposed to be but because of the drought - nope. This made about 75% of the boardwalk walk very boring for my kids as there really were no animals to see. It was only when you get to the lettuce lake area that we spotted a few alligators. I was not happy that we drove an hour for my kids to not see much and be bored (and frankly, so was I). The Audubon does a fantastic job, the visitor center is wonderful, and the info on the trails is great...but the "no swamp swamp" got to us on this visit.

They take you out pretty deep and you try a few different spots and everyone catches some fish (mostly just lane snapper, though a few people caught one or two others, like a mackerel--there was also plenty of grouper but too small for us to keep so we had to throw them back). That was great since the first time I went fishing in Costa Rica, we didn't catch anything. They told us that if you do the 3/4 day or full day trip, you can go out even deeper and catch a wider variety of fish, which we'll have to try next time. One guide was super helpful and attentive; the captain less so. I wish they came around more to help out beginners like us but overall still a great time. They do take quite a few people out during COVID (we had 11 people on our boat) so there's that to consider if that's an issue for you. Otherwise, they're great fun and teach you how to fish - and they clean/gut it at the end for you so you can cook at home or bring to the restaurant on the harbor where they will also cook for you (though the local restaurant - the Dock at Crayton Cove right at the end of the harbor - charges a hefty $25 to do so).
