Beautiful scenery! - My husband and I went on the kayak tour as a treat for his Father’s Day. The preserve is absolutely beautiful, we took so many amazing photos of the wildlife and scenery. Our tour guide Chris was amazing! He paced the tour really well and was super knowledgeable. Chris made sure it was easy for everyone to participate, even complete kayaking novices like me and my husband! Highly recommend!

Fun family kayak tour - My family loved this tour! We went with Chris, who is very nice and knowledgeable about the preserve. He even made sure we all had pictures. Our kids loved this tour as well, especially the cormorants following our kayaks, eating fish. It was a hot and sunny day, but the water splashes keep you cool. Definitely bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen! Chris made sure we all had water as well. It seems like a long distance but Chris made sure to give us breaks and point out the wildlife. My 12 year old had a solo kayak and did great. Would definitely recommend!
