We enjoyed a relaxing paddle thru mangroves, and the channel; saw dolphins, and some cool birds, stopped at a beach to shell and take pictures, and learned a bit about the area. Great guides, friendly and patient, highly recommend this excursion around the Bonita Beach area. Great family fun seeing the sites from a kayak. Keoni and the other guide (Mike?) where great fun.
