Trying to find your way around? Read on to learn about the content, structure, and features of this web site.
The navigation menu on the top is constant throughout the site so you can access any section from anywhere in the website. Please take some time to bookmark your favorite sections and discover the new ones.
The website is divided into six main sections all linked from the navigation menu above: About Us, Kayak Tours, Kayak Rentals, More Information, Used Kayak Sale, Birding Tours, Reservations, and Contact. Drop-down menus will appear for them all when your pointer is placed over them.
Each of the main sections has its own “introductory page”, perhaps better called a “hub” as there are links that lead away from it like spokes to the content pages. The content pages are where you find the most detailed information.
