Thinking of gifting the Dora Canal Wildlife Kayak Tour!

I’m considering this kayak tour for my partner's birthday. The idea of paddling through a cypress canopy sounds amazing! I saw that they offer single or tandem kayaks, but I think we’d prefer a tandem. Can anyone share their experience? How was the wildlife? Did you see any alligators?

Anyone done the Dora Canal kayaking? What’s the vibe?

I’m really curious about the vibe on this tour. I love nature, but I'm not the best at kayaking. Is it really beginner-friendly? Also, how long does the tour usually last?
