It was fun, relaxing and an awesome experience. Manatees, turtles, gators, hunting birds of prey, beautiful scenery and the best guides money can buy. 3 of us went with no kayaking experience, my wife was a little intimidated at first when she saw her first gator in the water with her in a kayak but she soon gave in to the splendor of everything around us. A very relaxing pace was kept and it was really easy to unwind in a slice of paradise. We all highly recommend this adventure.
