Thinking of gifting the Manatee Paddle Tour, anyone done it?
I’m considering this guided paddle tour for my partner’s birthday! We love wildlife, especially manatees. I’ve heard great things about Lamar Lake and how you can see dolphins too. Is it really as amazing as it sounds? What should I know before booking?
Just came back from the Manatee Paddle Tour - WOW!
I just did the guided paddle tour last weekend and it was incredible! We saw so many manatees, and the view of downtown Miami from the bay is beautiful. It was a bit windy, but the guides were awesome and made it easy for us. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a gift option!
