Our family (all beginners) had a great time exploring the mangrove tunnels. We went on the 1:30 tour, and our guide was Evan. He was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and we were made to feel comfortable from the very start! We met at the visitor center and followed his van to the launch site (covid procedure) and there we received all the gear we needed, including a rain poncho- which we ended up using. The pace was great and we saw many alligators and birds including one that Evan hadn't seen before, so that was cool! It was so quiet and beautiful- like paddling into a different world for a few hours. We would totally recommend this trip and Shurr Adventures to friends! Communication booking the trip was excellent too. Thanks!
