My 19 yr old granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Jimmy was a great tour guide and made sure we saw everything there was to see. He was very informative and made sure to point out all the things unique to the area we kayaked on. It was better than Universal by 4 stars!!!!!!

Absolutely loved our kayaking adventure. This was my family’s first time in a kayak and it was awesome. We saw Buckeye.. the resident manatee in the spring creek.. so cool. Amazing how clear the water is in the creek! That is a big reason why I booked this kayaking experience. So cool to see all the different types of fish in the water. We also saw plenty of birds and quite a few gators in the river. Our guide Bill was awesome as well. Very, very knowledgeable of the river, wildlife and the area in general. Definitely give this a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review!!!

Amazing encounter with such peaceful and unique animals. The spring clear waters allows for visitors to watch the manatees carelessly swimming around. One of the most beautiful and peaceful sights in my life. Visit in the cold months so you can see the manatees in the creek; otherwise, they will be out in the swamps where the waters are murky. You can even see them passing gas! Too cute.
