April 24, 2011 Also on www.tripadvisor.com | Email to Dan and Debbie: "I would like to thank you for the fantastic time we had on our recent guided eco tour. It was defintely the high light of our vacation! We all learned so much and really enjoyed our time on St Joe Bay. Also, we each appreciated the extra instruction and paddling tips too . . . Thanks again for sharing and allowing us the opportunity to learn more about your slice of paradise!" |

September 26, 2010 | "My wife and I took an unguided 4 hr kayak trip and loved every minute of it. Neither of us had been kayaking before and decided to give it a try. Dan and Debbie were great, Dan was very patient with us giving us some quick lessons on how to handle the kayak. Saw lots of scallops, horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, birds and one small stingray." |
September 8, 2010 | Email to Debbie: "I just wanted to thank you SO, SO much for taking me, my husband, our son and his friends out scalloping this past weekend. Everyone loved it! We have been wanting to learn where to go and how to find the scallops for years now . . . so glad we went to the experts to guide us!" |
September 1, 2010 | "Debbie took us on a great four hour kayaking tour of St. Joseph Bay. She is very knowledgable and fun. She showed us sponges that were like condominiums for sea life, including starfish, toad fish, shrimp, crabs, and many other sea creatures. She pointed out that the bay is a nursery for the ocean. Saw a 4' alligator, bald eagle, osprey, horseshoe crabs, stringrays, baby sharks, pileated woodpecker, and much more. Guided tour very worthwhile." |

 | "On behalf of our entire family, we wanted to say a big 'THANK YOU, DEBBIE!!' We enjoyed our eco-tour with you so much. The kids all said it was their favorite part of the vacation. They loved telling everyone about the kayaks, the snorkeling, and learning about all the bay creatures and plant life. Tell Dan I have a bunch of old spoons for his new cottage industry . . . 'scalloping spoons.' They are old spoons from the cottage, so they'll be vintage 'Old Florida' style! See ya?ll 4th of July! Fondly," - Perry Ann & Keith |
 | "It was a very enriching experience that I had visiting with you all and specially that kayak eco-trip. I told my nephew & niece about my trip and both of them are very excited about taking this trip in near future. I will get in touch with you all when they are here. Some of the photographs that I took came out pretty nice. I am sending some of them. I hope both of you are doing well and so are Lizzy and the cute donkey (I am forgetting his name). Regards," - Sam |
 | "Lovely regards from Germany. We really enjoyed to meet you. We had some really happy (h)ours with the kayaks and talking to you. Should you ever visit Germany, Please let us know, [you] are very welcome to us. We wish you all the best for the future." - Aleson & Thomas |
 | "We'd like to thank you for your friendliness and hospitality to us when we dropped into your church on Easter morning. Also for the advice and the tour of the bay and souveniers. You were an important reason why we had such a great Spring Break vacation. Thanks again," - Mark & Shelly, David & Kate |
| TripAdvisor.com ***** June 26, 2007 Birmingham AL | "We recently returned from a visit to our favorite beach, Cape San Blas, with great memories. One of the high points was taking our 10-year-old son and his friend on a Guided Eco-Tour provided by Happy Ours. Dan and Debbie VanVleet are not only experts on the marine life and ecology of the beautiful St. Joseph Bay, they are also expert entertainers! The kids went from being nervous about the strange things they were seeing in the water to grabbing horseshoe crabs by the tail and snorkeling not far from where we'd seen a baby shark. The bay is clean and healthy, like looking through glass at the shallow bed below teeming with plant and animal life. We saw stingrays, puffer fish, scallops, conchs, blue crabs, fiddler crabs, and more. Mullet leapt from the water all around our boats. That night we raised a beer to Dan and Debbie when we ran into them at the Indian Pass Raw Bar. If you are looking for a beach without high rise condos, jet skis and banner dragging planes, this is the place. It is a protected wildlife area where sea turtles nest, dolphins breakfast just off shore, and great blue herons share their fishing grounds with the children. We'll be back." |
| TripAdvisor.com ***** May 29, 2008 Little Rock AR | "My kids LOVED this [eco-tour with Happy Ours Kayak & Canoe Outpost] more than anything else we did this week. You can really tell Dan loves his job. He made sure we brought everything we needed, beach shoes (not flip flops) a hat, sunscreen, and drinks. It was only $40 per pair of people in a tandem kayak, plus $100 to add Dan for half a day, and is he every worth it. Dan really made the kids feel safe, very educational, and great sense of humor. When you're done from the eco tour you can pet his horse and donkey. You can stand in the water over a mile out, so anyone afraid of deep water is safe here, a MUST DO!!" |
