Our kayaking tour was fabulous. We were so fortunate to see manatees galore - an experience not commonly had by kayakers. Our grandchildren were ecstatic at seeing so many up close. Our guide, Karen, was outstanding. She was well informed, very friendly, took a personal interest in each of us, called each of us by name, and generally conveyed to us how much she enjoyed us and her work. It was a great experience all around.

Karen’s absolute joy and passion for the wildlife and the ecosystem we’re infectious! Karen took me on a treasure hunt for the out of the ordinary. Thank you for making me excited about things I never knew! Another light switch has been turned on😉

Had an amazing guided tour with Karen. Our first time at the State Park and kayaking in the area. Karen was so much fun, super knowledgeable and took great photos for us and sent to us at the end. We saw several manatees right next to the kayaks and many different types of birds. Highly recommend and make sure to ask for Karen :)
