Bring camera. It’s a stunning location but be prepared for people! This is a popular location with many kayak, paddle board options for rent.

Highly recommend

The service was phenomenal by the operator. She provided detailed instructions and guidance. We saw many different wildlife while relaxing in our kayaks. When it started to rain in the last half of our trip, the operators called to check on us and even offered an extended trip due to the rain. Excellent company!

Worth it!

It was wonderful, we did it after 3 pm so it was not so much people. Water was very clear, weather was not so hot with breeze. Easily to see fish turtles under water and gators resting on the bank.
