Awesome Kayak Tour
Mark_S, Mar 2024
Very well managed operation and knowledgeable tour guide (Luke). The introduction, gear and launch take place right there at the marina docks and then you head out in the kayaks with the tour guide. Lots to see and learn - birds, oysters, vegetation, island history, etc. The paddling was moderate and not to0 strenuous for us 60-year-olds!
