Along the way, watch for iguanas on the banks, herons, egrets, and ibis overhead, leaping tarpon, playful dolphins, and gentle manatees play in warmer waters during manatee season (Nov 15 - Mar 31). Expert guides share eco-insights, offer paddle tips,, take memorable photos, and adjust the pace for fun. Route leads to a tranquil 9.3-acre nature preserve — a hidden gem with mangroves and trails, ideal for stretching your legs and enjoying the beauty.
