It was a very chill and relaxed kayak experience. The tour guides were so awesome. They even sent us pictures after the tour. We saw alligators, 1 manatee, and a lot of birds. Would recommend to anyone. It was worth the money.

I went with my son to celebrate a special occasion in a different way. We LOVED it! Astrid, our guide, was very easy to learn from and knowledgeable, peaceful and such an interesting person! Our tour group included 3 children who seemed to love it., as well. The St Johns River is vast, with amazing nature all around - trees, plants, animals, and the water! Like glass... We had a show - saw alligators, turtles, all kinds of fish & birds, and 2 manatees, even at this time of year which is not a common occurrence. I definitely recommend this adventure for anyone.
