I can just highly recommend to do this kayak tour. Best way to experience the beautiful nature in Florida without the normal crowd of people. I would even say it was better than Disney!

Astrid was amazing, friendly, and informative. Her passion for the waterways and the animals kept you wanting to follow her and her patients with inexperienced paddlers made the challenging trip feel more comfortable. The booking process was crazy easy and the price was great for a weekend adventure in Florida. I would recommend bringing lots of water, a hat, and extra sunscreen as sitting on the water was incredibly hot. We will definitely be back!!!

Astrid was an amazing tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond taking us into the springs when we had some extra time. We saw so many alligators, birds, and were even lucky enough to see a manatee in the offseason!
