Overall, it's a unique way to experience a different side of the area, and many visitors are already planning return trips for the bioluminescence tour.
Had a wonderful kayak trip in the Winter Park chain of lakes! It was such a lovely trip. So peaceful on the lake that day…the water was glass. Awesome guide shared lots of great stories about the lakes and the surrounding homes. The paddling was easy and the two hours flew by. We were sorry to see it end!
