It was a beautiful morning with a ton of up-close wildlife sightings. Gina was a wonderful guide. We had a party of 5 with mixed levels of kayak experience. My 77 year-old parents had no problems with the paddle (in tandem kayaks with my wife and I assisting them). We saw alligators, turtles, egrets, storks, vultures, hawks, anhingas, herons, and of course ALOT of manatees. The water is highly tannic so the visibility is not great but the Manatees came right up to our kayaks. One of them even nuzzled my Go Pro camera as I held it in the water for underwater video. Fully recommended!

Well organized operation with knowledgeable and experienced guides. Manatees are an underwater living animal so seeing was a little tough as they swam past but the guides did the best they could to get you reasonably close. Lots of other wildlife and flora to see along the way. Guides gave us 3 hrs plus on the river well worth the price if you enjoy being out and about in kayaks

EVERYTHING about this tour was awesome. The initial booking process....easy. The communication with the Company BEFORE the tour...awesome and timely responses to questions we had. Starting the tour was perfect! We arrived about 20 minutes early and Bill (our guide) was already there and had our kayaks ready to go. The experience...it was WAY better Han we had hoped for. Not only did we see LOTS of wildlife, the manatee encounters made for lifetime memories. We watched one feeding which was fantastic, but we were blown away with the experience of having several come right up beside our kayak and poke their noses out of the water and look at us...like they were on tour to see the kayakers. Our guide (Bill) NEVER rushed us and always allowed extra time when something peaked our interest. In my opinion, this is the perfect tour for animal lovers and people that simply enjoy nature. We traveled from Colorado, and this tour made the entire trip worth every penny.
