My 8 year old son and I had a wonderful time with our guide, Gina, kayaking and learning about manatees. The manatees were swimming right beneath our kayaks so we saw them up close and personal! We learned so much about these “sea cows”, other wildlife and the surrounding environment! Perfect 👌 weather in early December which made the kayaking fairly easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended 💯

Great way to spend a morning in Florida. We kayaked along the St Johns River and saw manatees, alligators, turtles and a wide variety of birds. Bill was a knowledgeable friendly guide with a good eye for wildlife. Pace was good for beginners.

Such a fun kayak excursion. Our guide Bill was so knowledgeable and the pace was fun and not too challenging. Highly recommended!
