We rented two sit in kayaks after hearing many refer to tandem kayaks as divorce kayaks. Ha! We did the two hour kayak trip and it was awesome. The first mile was downstream through shaded channels. We saw lots of turtles and birds. Then, you come out into the main area where the glass bottom boats are. Now it is time to paddle upstream and navigate away from the boats. We used to own kayaks and are comfortable with them. The views are spectacular. Fish were coming right up to the edge of our kayaks. We did not see monkeys or manatee. We wanted to return the next day to do the full day paddle to Ray Wayside. That’s all downstream and then they have a shuttle pick you up. There’s a chance to see monkeys further downstream. Unfortunately, there were thunderstorms anticipated, so didn’t go. Next time we will do that kayak tour. The website still says they aren’t offering the full day (4 hours) with shuttle, but they are. You can just show up without a reservation, but noon is the last put in for the long kayak trip. The staff were very helpful getting you in and out of the water and kayaks.
