I first took the Half Circle Mangrove Kayaking experience and came back for the Full Circle Kayaking expedition! Paddling across the lake at my own pace was truly a peaceful experience. Dani and Samson were absolutely great with conversation and ensuring we didn't rush through the trip. A must try experience whether you're a seasoned kayaker or a beginner!
