Nice & Easy Kayak rental service - We rented kayaks. Easy to use with seats. Mangrove tunnels are fun to discover. Saw lots of natural wildlife. Unfortunately, no manatees on this day. Would highly recommend this rental company. Jacob was very nice and informative regarding the currents happening that day. Easy in and out process into the Gulf.
