Soak up the beauty of nature - I experienced the true meaning of paradise on this easy-paced kayaking adventure. The sun reflection on the water with the slick calm surface as a mirror along stretches of mangrove forests was spectacular. Kayaking the mangrove tunnels under striking tree canopies was magical and all smiles. I enjoyed the transition of landscapes to open bays, river, sandbar, beach and inlet. Little Jim Bait & Tackle for lunch had a welcoming atmosphere and food was delicious. Being a sharp-eyed person, Mark was good at noticing and observing things like the agitated waters and knowing instantly what aquatic animal was going to pop its head out of the water and pointing them to me. He was knowledgeable about the mangrove species, edible leaves, birds, aquatic animals, water tides, history of Fort Pierce, and more. I have learned more about the mangrove forests and its habitat. Mark is really an outdoors enthusiast. The top-rated kayak and its equipment, level of comfort and stability, afforded me the opportunity to even stand up and paddle board once in a while. On my return to the launch location, I was floating the waters like a lazy river as the kayak propulsion motor thrust forward and I only had to manoeuvre the kayak with my paddle. It gave me time again to take in the picturesque and pristine surroundings, soak up the beauty around me. I appreciated the feeling of not being rushed from departure to returning points. Mark, owner and guide, has made my day! If you are looking for a reputable kayaking tour, look no further. I highly endorse Rivers to Ocean Kayaking for their excellent kayaking services and expertise.
