Group of 3 couples ages 30-60 years old. Had a fabulous adventure. We saw a variety of wildlife including a manatee & eagle. Highly recommend. Had some boat traffic in the canal but all were friendly and waved at us in the kayaks.

The 2 hour tandem kayak trip was incredibly tranquil and scenic. Saw many wading birds. A couple homes has interesting gnome villages. Katrina saw us off in a friendly, helpful and upbeat way. We’ll be back.
