We purchased a kayak tour for $40 per person agreeing on having only one kayak for two people. We went up and down the estuary in two hours at the most. I guess having someone who knows the area and actually how to paddle made us feel safe as it was our first time ever. Looking back I think there was no need for anyone to be there at all and it would be better to simply rent a kayak ourselves ($23/ 2 hour rent for 2 people).
The scenery was not picturesque or exciting: we saw a couple of birds and a few times small fish jumped above the water. It was still fascinating to look around at the jungle and paddle in sync. We both though got tired half way through and decided to take turns and that worked out pretty well.
Next step is to go to “big water” and see how it goes in the ocean.
