Very enjoyable kayaking tour
leslieb459, September 2026
Very enjoyable kayaking excursion. The water was calm and the sun was shining. I saw dolphins so close I could hear them breathing. I also saw many different birds. At least 25 different species of birds. Many were very close to the kayak. My guide Michael was very knowledgeable. Pointing out all kinds of things along the way. I learned so much. I will definitely do this tour when I return.
