Me and my Husband went on a kayak tour with Guy as our guide. We loved our experience and got to see a variety of birds, some gators, and turtles. I learned alot and would definitely do this tour again when I'm back in town.

My girlfriend and I visited Blue Spring State Park’s French Avenue Landing on March 18, 2022. Due to the fact that our guide, Guy, was 20 to 25 minutes late for our morning departure, I deducted half a point. However, his delay did allow us to talk to the other guides of various adventure companies who were offering the same tour. The following details my conversations and findings. The other guides, like Guy, were passionate about wildlife and knowledgeable. The various companies’ kayaks were similar in size and condition. The other companies offered between a 2.5 to 3.5 hour tour (2.5 hours is plenty of time) and charged around $65.00 per person (since Adventures in Florida charged $80.00 per person, I deducted another half of a point) To see more manatees, the various guides recommended a morning tour between the months of November and March. So, please note my findings and use them to book your kayak tour.
