Just did the Clear Kayak Tour in Tarpon Springs!

I went on the Manatee Season Clear Kayak Tour last weekend and it was incredible! The clear kayaks were so cool, especially gliding over the water and seeing fish below. Our guide shared so much about the Sponge Docks and even took us to this little island where we spotted crabs and some cool birds. We didn’t see any manatees, but just being on the water was so relaxing. Totally recommend it for anyone visiting Clearwater!

Thinking of gifting this kayak tour for my parents!

I’m considering giving the Manatee Season Clear Kayak Tour as a gift for my parents' anniversary. They love the outdoors! Has anyone done it? What's the best time of year to go? Just want it to be special for them!
