A unique outdoor experience

Erin was super knowledgeable and told us all about the local birds, fish, plants, etc. She was attentive to everyone in our party to make sure we were all doing well throughout the experience. Unfortunately we didn’t get to actually see many things in the water, but I know they can’t control that. She did take us into mangrove tunnels, which were pretty!

Our tour lead by Bre was super fun and low key. She was full of info about the waterway, the environment and current preservation efforts, as well as some cool lore. If you are worried about the kayaking part, no need it’s pretty straightforward and Bre dis a great job keeping the tour moving while focused on our experience. Super fun way to spend a few hours, highly recommend. 10 out of 10!!
