Rented a kayak from the boat shop for $30 for the day (we are maryland residents) and kayaked for a couple hours up the Anacostia River to the Arboretum. Super easy and very chill, lovely Sunday afternoon, saw plenty of birds, a hawk, turtles, a few fish, and ducks!
We signed up for a night tour with Jairo and thoroughly enjoyed our evening! We started out the night by observing a falcon, sloth, and iguana using his telescope (and taking some awesome pictures). We then entered the jungle area, where Jairo had built areas specifically for animal breeding. Within minutes, we observed a toad, several varieties of frogs, and a snake (surprise!) Walking through the forest, we also spotted a sleeping toucan, several bats, and another small bird.

Jairo was professional and extremely knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and supplementing the tour with information from his phone's app. The tour ended with fresh pineapple and cold water. I would highly recommend this tour for animal-lovers of all ages -- you won't regret it!
