Took my daughter and her husband on the kayaking tour, and had so much fun! Our guide, Joe, was really helpful and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area. The location was easy to find and we parked right next to where we launched the kayaks. It could not have been easier! We had a lot of fun and will definitely rebook the next time we’re in Tampa!
