Had a phenomenal 3 hour kayak adventure on the estuary led by Katie, who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We saw tons of wildlife up close including several dolphins, turtles, pelicans, and other birds. Provided equipment was in great shape. Staff was well organized and punctual. Highly recommend this outfit, as well as Katie, if you can get her. đź‘Ť
