Serene and eventful kayak trip

We had a last minute change of venue due to better wildlife activity closer to the coast. So glad we did it! We ended up seeing beautiful river dolphins and several bird species nesting and fishing. Storks, ibis, heron and a special pink one as well. Really peaceful and serene kayaking trip with great info from Jack our tour guide. I loved the history and nature mix!

Informed day before that tour was not available

We didn’t get to experience this tour. The park was not allowing this activity, due to the number of manatees. Not the outfitter’s fault. However, I think that they should have known and communicated with us sooner than 24 hours beforehand that the tour would not be possible. That would have given us the notice and time to book a different kind of tour in the area. And it would have prevented our credit card being charged.

Spence was a terrific guide, very nice & fun! He knew a lot about the wildlife in the area and could find the manatee’s

Super fun day! Our guide Spence did a wonderful job touring the waters! Clean nice kayaks and we saw a lot of wildlife and manatees
