Fun afternoon activity

Jeannette_B, Jan 2026

The crew met us in a large pontoon boat at the meeting spot on the Venetian pier. There were 25 tour members in all. We went past some islands where birds roost with a bit of basic commentary from the crew. Then motored to the kayaking spot. After some instruction, we all paddled through a small mangrove area with some basic commentary and then over to Raccoon Island. We hung out there for some time and kayaked back to the floating dock. On the return we went past Billionaire Bunker. The crew was friendly and we had fun..
