Beautiful área, lots of room for all the kayakers and SUPs. Not fast moving so any level can do it. Saw monkeys, otters, turtles and alligators. So much fun! Loved the history from our guide also.

You likely will not see monkeys. Manatees are rare in the summer months. The overall experience was fantastic. The guide was very nice, knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend this great adventure to anyone

The experience was great from start to finish. Justin communicated exactly where to go and what to expect. They had a dry bag for our belongings. Justin was VERY knowledgeable about everything around us and cared about the safety and care of the wildlife and environment. He even took amazing pictures for us! I have nothing but great things to say about Justin and this tour!
