3.00Kayaking was fun and skyline beautiful but our group was large (about 20) so made it very hard to hear our guide. Would have been helpful of our guide to tell us best location to see the bats. We ended up not seeing anything. The wind was strong so we kept trying to hold a central position. A heads up from the guide was nonexistent. Best part was the random fireworks from a wedding.
