Clear Kayak Tour of Tarpon Springs | Manatee Season

Charlie was great and this was the equivalent of a little stroll around the waterways. This is not a wilderness area trip, but it's a nice paddle past some impressive coastal houses to an area where the manatees hang out due to warm water. Charlie furnished a lot of great info about the area and took great care of everyone. Lovely way to spend the morning!
