Loved such a relaxing morning kayak trip with Bill!! He showed us up and down a very narrow creek bed where manatees love to go and feed. It was gorgeous. Bill was also an avid birder and I loved naming all of the avian wildlife with him. Thank you!!!

I dropped my kids and husband off at Hollywood Studios and went on this relaxing, beautiful trip with nature. It exceeded my expectations. I saw many young alligators and turtles sunning themselves. I was enthralled by the creepy cypress swamps and amazed by the Florida birds. I saw limpkins, anhingas, black-crowned night herons, great egrets, ibises, great blue herons and little blue herons. And we got to have manatees swimming next to our kayaks. Just simply amazing creatures. I loved seeing them take a breath out of the crystal clear blue springs. It was a beautiful trip and our tour guide, Astrid was knowledgeable. She was friendly and conducted the tour at a relaxing pace. Wonderful, memorable trip that I would do again and again. Just wish my family wasn’t so into Star Wars, lol. Would have loved get them to experience this.

Bill from Adventures in Florida took us on an incredibly awesome kayak adventure. We had manatees all around us. We even saw a bald eagle. It was my first time to kayak and Bill encouraged and explained everything so I was at ease. We had an absolute blast! DO NOT MISS this adventure! Thank you so much, Bill, for this incredible day!!
