The manatees were so much fun. Our guide, Mark, showed how they will come up to the kayak when he poured water into the lagoon. They swam right up next to us and under us, blew a little water into us, showed us their noses, and let us touch them. We then saw several dolphins in the waterway, plus a variety of birds. Such a great time. Totally worth it. Mark have us a lot of interesting information and was knowledgeable. Be prepared to paddle...you will get a workout. Bring LOTS of water and sunscreen!
