Really enjoyed our tour with Zach. He was very knowledgeable about all things related to manatees and the local area. Having a guide made this much better than just kayaking on our own.
Thank you!!
Clear Kayaks are nice. Everything was clean and in good repair. Considering the price now a days I suppose it is average. Two hours kayaking in much wind was definitely enough. We did see quite a few manatees however there were individuals there that would float right on top of them when we attempted photos. The guide was great at taking photos of the young people but not for we two oldies. We also had the cameras in the back and heavier people in front which is not good for water level. Live and learn. If you like to kayak and want to see a manatee this is a good place to go.
My sister had never been in a kayak before but everybody made sure she was comfortable and we had a great time. Our guide, Cat, was incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and made our tour special!
