My boyfriend and I did the manatee clear kayak excursion. The instructions were very clear and both instructors were very professional and guided us on how to correctly get in the kayak. Being in a clear kayak is definitely a different experience, it was so much fun being able to see the algae and the fishes swim by. Shawna was a fantastic guide, she has such a wealth of knowledge of the wildlife around us! She kept pointing out different animals and gave us lots of fun facts. She was able to expand on the conversation and make it light hearted and fun while learning about each of our backgrounds. Unfortunately, we were unable to see any manatees during our tour as it seems that they have moved from their usual spot. Definitely giving props to Shawna tho, we paddle a couple places to try to locate them. Tip: call ahead and ask them what is the best season to go as they had mentioned due to red tide it could have affected the manatee's usual spots.
