My daughter was visiting from out of state this weekend, and I wanted her to have some genuine Floridian experiences, as opposed to the typical amusement parks or tourist attractions. I was happy to find this reasonably-priced experience on TripAdvisor, and the 5/5 rating is accurate and well-deserved.. Austin was our guide, and he is extremely well-versed in the ecosystem of the river. As we maneuvered our kayaks among the mangroves, he spoke of the history of the region, the history of Tarpon Springs in particular, and pointed out the various forms of wildlife and their respective places and contributions to river environment. He answered our questions with humor and courtesy. We saw so many feathered and finned inhabitants (and yes, even dolphins.) Pack your sunscreen and water and prepare to enjoy two hours appreciating the beauty and balance of river life. I highly recommend River Wild and our wonderful guide (and I, a Tampa resident, would definitely return and bring guests along to enjoy the experience too!) A solid 5/5!

Took the whole family out here and had a fantastic time. Our guide Austin was very patient with beginner kayakers and knowledgeable about Florida vegetation, animals, and local history. Our experience was absolutely amazing, we had 2 separate dolphin sightings and learned a lot throughout the tour.

We had a fantastic experience with Austin. We took the 9:30 eco tour. There were 5 total in our party and our tour group consisted of 9 people. It was a perfect group size. Austin is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. His passion for nature is apparent with the depth of knowledge he imparts on his tour. He understands the wild life and the eco system and is well versed in the history of Tarpon Springs, the sponge diving industry, and the history of the Anclote River. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the eco tour. I would highly recommend Austin and River Wild Kayaking.
