Join the growing number of people who choose kayaks as a way to enjoy the unique treasures that make Florida such a beautiful place to enjoy nature and the outdoors. American Canoe Association certified instructor, George Allerton, will offer an introductory class to make kayaking easy for birders and photographers. If you've never been in a kayak before, this is the class for you! Once you master the art of using a low profile kayak, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to get REALLY close to wildlife and enjoy stunning scenery that seemed inaccessible before.
