What a great morning with our guide, Guy. He was so knowledgeable about the manatees, gators, and local birds we saw. He sent us pictures of all a lot of the wild life we saw, along with pictures of our group. It was a beautiful day on the water. Thanks for the adventure!

We had a wonderful time on our kayak tour to see the manatees. Guy was amazing and very knowledgeable. He took us to all the best viewing spots and took our picture for us. We saw manatees, walked through the park, kayaked some more and saw gators and many species of birds. Overall it was a perfect adventure! 🐊

We had the most amazing day kayaking with our guide Jimi. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable as we kayaked on the St John River viewing manatees, various birds, and alligators. I’ve spent a lot of time in wilderness settings and this was a definite highlight. I highly recommend!
