The location and these folks running trips on Rookery Bay in Southwest Florida are fantastic. Trip guides are all overeducated and overenthusiastic about where they are, what they know and what they want to share with all their student clients such as us four adults who were out on a lovely morning and paddling through these wonderful waters. Oh, by the way, ospreys and an eagle in the sky, dolphins and a manatee with her calf in the water as well as a host of creepy crawlers in the mud flats and mangrove tunnels. Give them a call and sign up for one of the best day paddle trips around. P.S., thanks Sam, you are a great host and guide!!!!!

Forrest set us up ad used disinfectant wipes to prepare our kayaks . . .we used the Google Maps app to help guide our way through the trails . . .cannot recommend highly enough!
