About Us

Founded in 2007, Ripple Effect began with owner, Chris Kelley and two part-time guides as professional outfitters offering kayak tours in the St. Augustine and north Flagler County area in the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve. From the very beginning, Ripple Effect’s mission has been to provide an entertaining and educational ecotour experience that will increase public awareness of the majesty nature has to offer and to provide an eye-opening experience that will encourage respect and sustainability for these natural areas.  

Now we have expanded our location to the beautiful locale of Islamorada. We are excited to bring our passion for nature and our years of experience down south. Our naturalist certified guides will share their wealth of knowledge with you and be there to answer any questions you might have. We pride ourselves on being eco-friendly and family-friendly. No matter your experience level, our guides will make you feel confident on the water and leave you with memories you won't soon forget.
