Passion is contagious. Matt, our kayak guide, is an expert Herpetologist, and his passion for the ecology and biodiversity of the area was awesome. Incredible guide. Went to strong efforts to find lots of creatures for us to observe and respectfully interact with, while teaching so much the full time. Our family with kids all had a great time. Strong recommendation. Very rare to get such an expert and share a few hours experiencing his passions in such a great setting. Definitely a trip highlight.
