I went kayaking with my sister and brother-in-law who were visiting here. We saw monkeys all over the place as well as crocodiles and manatees. The water is crystal clear and you can see everything.
The manatees come right up to your kayak. The alligators pretty much just lay out in the sun. They almost look fake since they barely move. Some people were trying to feed the monkeys but I heard that that's not a good idea as they can be aggressive and they carry disease.
The only thing that annoyed me was towards the end of the kayak trip there were a ton of people on jet skis, which created waves. Some of the people looked like it was their first time riding one so you have to watch out for them. There was also one group of people on a pontoon going up river that ended up getting stuck on a log. I'm not sure what they were thinking trying to get that huge thing up that little, relatively shallow river.
