It was very fun to get lost in the mangroves, I recommend to the wise to hold the map. Got some very nice pictures. We used 2 kayak for 4 persons

Happy we chose Lazy Dog. They were welcoming, efficient and professional. The mango journey outlined for us was challenging but appropriate for beginners....

As first timers, we signed up for the 2-hr. rental and not the guided tour, so we might not be able to complete a 2-hour guided tour. (We could always give up if we failed miserably, if we were just on our own.)
We got an informative and useful instructional briefing, and we were off.
We all started out kneeling to get a feel for the board.
We all tried to stand up. I was very wobbly (have the least ability to balance on one foot) It was a bit awkward and occasionally difficult to steer.
We paddled away from the dock and into a larger channel. By watching others, I learned to keep my feet wider on the board and that gave me better balance. One of group figured out that only drawing the paddle back to where your feet are, removed some of the extra turning that I was getting. The paddleboard became easier to steer and my balance (and comfort standing) improved.
We took a narrow channel into a mangrove swamp. I found I was too tall (6'3") and not skilled enough to turn quickly to easily navigate the mangrove swamp. I was glad when we left that! Paddled around in the larger calm bays and in the main channel for a while. My back did get tired (a symptom of poorer technique) but I was too stubborn to sit or kneel (plus I knew I'd have to stand back up). I saw 2 sharks, (6' and 4') and numerous fish. I stood up almost the entire time! On the way back in, in a protected calm cove, I got too close to a mango tree and started to lose my balance. I knew that I was going over, but did so in slow motion! Due to the excellent briefing, I had no trouble getting back on the board and standing up for the last 100' to the dock! (Someone had to fall in, my money was on my wife, so I lost that bet. But falling in, actually made it more fun!
The women both enjoyed paddleboarding more than Kayaking. I still like Kayaking a bit better. We all had fun and would do it again. I think we could have done the 2 -hour tour, but I would not have enjoyed it if we were holding up a group of more experienced paddlers.
