Had a fun time

Eco tour very informative and fun.

So much fun. Barney, our guide told us a lot of history of the waterway and the ecosystem around it.
If you just want usage of a kayak, without the guide, that is possible also. We like the guides for this because they know so many interesting things about the area and that is what brings to life the tour.
GREAT and easy afternoon outing on a sunny Florida day.

A kayak outing on a clear, sunny, warm day is perfect for an afternoon outing. I recommend water shoes, rather than trainers. Bring a hat and sunscreen and a waterproof bag for your phone/camera. They give you a water bottle and a snack at the end (even a Gluten-Free one!) We saw an alligator and some turtles, and the trees and water were gorgeous. The others on our tour were friendly and that makes a difference. Shout out to our guide, James, for being helpful and experienced and letting us paddle a bit on our own.
Birthday to remember!

Our tour guide Barney tugging our canoe over a fallen tree log in knee high muck! Lots of laughs and great memories for all!
Serene out and back trip

My daughter and I learned some things on our tour—like how tannic acid affects the color of the water snd that alligators like the small one we saw on the trip are non-aggressive. It was a fun and informative out-and-back river trip.

Definitely recommend!

Had a great time kayaking! It was a beautiful trip. Not too challenging but did feel like a little bit of a workout. Definitely need to put on sunscreen beforehand since it’s mostly in the sun. Also, your legs will get wet so keep that in mind when getting dressed!
New Exciting Adventures!!!

My daughters and I decided to do something new and exciting for one of their birthdays. So as first time kayakers, we were very nervous. The guides were very helpful and patient with us as we learned very quickly not to lean to far to one side. Lol . As soon as we were focused and ventured on, we saw how beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing it was. We had a wonderful time. Thanks again to our guides, very friendly, very skilled, and most of all very patient! We can’t wait to go again!!!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
