Great time! Definitely would do it again

We had a great time. Honestly, I thought it was going to be a more secluded setting but we paddled on the Halifax River with the boats nearby. We saw dolphins and various birds. We missed the manatees, but we enjoyed every minute. Our guide, Noah, was excellent. We had never paddle boarded before and he was patient with us. Our daughters are 9 and 11 and they had a great time. They jumped in the river to cool down and Noah never rushed us. He even tried to take us to another close location to see the manatees but we didn’t have any luck. We truly enjoyed the whole experience and we would definitely do this again.
