Gina was a fantastic guide! Very patient, knowledgeable and professional, even with a mixed group of skill levels and language barriers. Highly recommended tour!

Jimi was an amazing ambassador for the river and the wildlife. We were very fortunate to have a private tour rather than have the company cancel because no one else signed up for the 9 AM slot. We were so grateful to still be able to go! The manatees were so amazing to see! The other wildlife was just as memorable. I left this tour with so much more knowledge of the area as well as the wildlife that calls this area home.
