The water is flat and glassy at Leeward Marina as the line of kayaks slips away from docks, paddles ticking the surface. Mangrove roots soon close in, channeling light into green shafts while the guide points out a juvenile turtle poking its head where the muddy root flares. The tour moves with the tide—slow, curious, and easy enough for beginners—through channels that feel like a hidden highway for rays, nurse sharks, and wading birds.
