You push off from a quiet marina and the Gulf spreads out before you like a pale sheet of glass; below your feet the clear kayak reveals the slow choreography of fish and seagrass, while mangrove roots curve away like cathedral arches. Guides steer a small flotilla through narrow channels, pausing where dolphins arc and manatees surface for a breath.
