Must-Do Mangrove Kayak Adventure

Our mangrove kayak trip was an incredible experience from start to finish. Ben, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire trip both fun and educational. He shared so many fascinating insights about the mangroves and the local wildlife that we never would have noticed on our own. Paddling through the peaceful mangrove tunnels was beautiful and relaxing, and thanks to Ben, we came away with a much deeper appreciation for this unique ecosystem. If you’re looking for a memorable outdoor adventure with a great guide, this trip is a must-do!

Operator response

Wonderful!!! We are so happy about your mangrove experience with Ben!!! Thank you!!!

Relaxing kayak tour

Nice kayaking through the preserve. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Did not see much wildlife other than birds. Thankfully our guide gave us a tip of a spot we could drive to and see manatees afterwards.

Operator response

We are happy you had a nice paddle through the preserve! We are glad you were able to use our resources to see manatees after your experience! Thank you!
