My friends and I went on the 3 hour manatee kayak tour with Bill as our guide. He was great!! We loved the experience and got to see so many manatees up close and other wildlife. Bill was very knowledgeable about all the animals and other facts about the area. We all had a fantastic morning and would absolutely rebook this or another tour with Bill.

We enjoyed seeing all the Florida wildlife on the St Johns River and Snake Creek. A rare opportunity to see the real Florida. We are thankful to Astrid for guiding us, who was remarkably sharp at finding wildlife on the river.

Astrid was very knowledgeable and extremely friend. Our group was small and included my wife and I plus a father and daughter. Astrid took time to make sure an uneasy 9yo (first time) kayaker was at easy, comfortable and paddled at the 9yoeds speed and comfort zone which happily extended the length of our tour. The tour was beautiful, peaceful and calming. We were hoping to see Manatees but it’s nature and was early in the season.
