I wanted to plan something different and special for New Year’s Eve this year and include as many of my family as I could. I have some family from Maine visiting, so it was important to do something for all ages. We are local to Tarpon Springs however, we have never been kayaking in the Bayou. I decided a kayaking trip to hopefully see some manatees would be a fantastic start to our New Year’s Eve celebrations. I had 10 people however when I went to book the trip, the 3 PM slot was not available. I called the company and they were super great to work with and since I had so many people they were able to find somebody to take us on the trip and booked us a special slot on New Year’s Eve. Our guide, Carmen, was very pleasant, helpful and had lots of information of the local area. Our group ranged in ages from 15 all the way up to 65, Carmen was great at helping everybody in their kayaks, safety first! We were so lucky, we had three or four manatees that were just playing around us and we also had a dolphin that swam right next to us! The weather was beautiful, the guide was fantastic, overall just a Perfect trip!
