Enjoyed being out in nature. Jeff was very knowledgeable on the Manatee and other wildflife. I really enjoyed the water fowl. Also saw a Bald Eagle and baby Alligator. He Also made it fun and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this trip. Most of the pictures I have seen don't do this trip justice. This is a very pretty area of Florida.

We were all so excited for this kayaking tour and it didn’t disappoint, first our guide Jeff was nothing short of awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the river, the manatee and the surrounding eco systems. Thank you and we would definitely do it again. Look at my pictures we even saw 2 alligators.

Took my teenage Nieces (13 & 15) and their mother out on the Manatee tour. I was worried that they would not have fun or be into it. They absolutely loved it from the moment they were in the water. Jeff was our guide and he was amazing and made the tour. Jeff was very knowledgeable and made everyone in the tour feel part of the family. I highly recommend going out for a guided tour, Jeff’s personality, knowledge and professionalism really made the Day. (The Manatees were also a big help😉)
