Astrid our tour guide was AMAZING!!! She was so friendly and knowledgeable! We saw gators, so many species of birds, turtles, fish, the natural spring (and got out to swim which was refreshing and beautiful) and some wonderful and peaceful exercise!! We had two tandems as we had our kids in tow (11yrs and 10yrs) they had a blast as well, we did the morning tour and highly recommend that as the sun can get hot, we had hats on and there was actually a nice little breeze - the pace was perfect slow and steady and Astrid even took professional pics on her camera for us at no charge so we could enjoy and not be fumbling for pics, she took pics of anything we asked for us, including family shots and awesome wildlife. We will definitely do this again, and maybe take some other tours with them as well, super nice company and people!! Highly recommend!!

We had a great time. Our guide was really knowledgeable and we all had such a blast exploring the springs and the river. We got to see all kinds of wildlife (including manatees!) and learn a lot about the area.

Astrid was our guide and she was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, she is courteous and polite. I’ve been on several trips with this outfitter and highly recommend them
