    5/5

    I was part of a large group paddle tour with Ayolane on the Ocklawaha River and it was an incredible experience. I have lived in Florida my entire life and been on dozens of paddle tours, but I've never picked up as much ecological wisdom, historical knowledge, and practical kayaking guidance as I did on this trip. For those with a fascination for Florida history, natural ecology, and a desire to learn practical paddling mechanics, I can't recommend Earth Kinship enough.
