Highly recommend the "Chaz" river kayak tour with Along the Banks tour company. Drake was our knowledgeable and pleasant guide and he provided excellent service from beginning to end. He is super friendly and makes it so easy to get in and out of the kayaks to keep clients feet from getting muddy. The kayaks were fun and had the most comfortable chairs of any we have been in. No back aches! We booked the Chaz river tour and were treated to a mother and baby manatee as soon as we launched the kayaks. We paddled up river to Seven Sisters Springs and down river to the "crack" spring. This river is beautiful teaming with wildlife. The side stream heading toward the Crack spring is a highly scenic lush jungle with palms and clear water. This is the best kayak eco tour we have taken and we intend to return next year and book another river kayak tour with Drake at Along the Banks. Call Drake if you are unsure of which tour you want to take. He will help you with the tour options.

We loved learning about the Manatees and alligators! It was so exciting to see all these animals in their natural habitat. Our tour guide was very descriptive about these majestic sea creatures and how they adapt to their lifestyle!!! If you love nature and are curious about Florida's wildlife then go to Along the bank and kayak tours with Drake!!! Adrianna-5th grade
