Relaxing sunset kayaking - Trip was great! He was very knowledgeable with the wildlife and explaining things about the river. He was very patient with our slow paddling! We got to see a lot of turtles, birds and bats flying out from under the bridge. Boats were nice and in good condition.

Best girls night - Evan our guide was the best. We really enjoyed the night. It was an easy drive to get there. Parking was $10 rowing back to the exit site was a little bit more challenging, but it was a nice little workout. My friend really enjoyed it. We saw a snapping turtle and a bunch of little fish and it was really fun.
