Beautiful way to spend...

Beautiful way to spend the morning! The tour was great for nature lovers - full of info on the wildlife we saw and delighted we saw some dolphins. It was at an easy pace so I still felt good at the end of two hours.

A must do!

This is something you must do, whether you’re experienced or first time kayaker. Max our guide was so interesting to listen to as he explained the marshes and the history that went along with it. I would recommend going earlier in the day before the heat hits. Loved it!!
