Thank you Matt. We had a great morning discovering the blue spring and getting up close to manatees, alligators, turtles and birds. Matt was a very calm and patient instructor with first time kayakers. He had amazing knowledge of the wildlife and area. Our tour was a great escape from the crowds and noise at the theme parks. Would definitely recommend. Murray Family, Scotland.

We really enjoyed our manatee kayak tour last week. It was a welcome break from the theme parks, and Matt was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and we saw lots of it! The highlight was the manatees - and it was good to see that Matt made sure everyone in the group enjoyed the encounter but respected them, by keeping their distance etc. We'd love to do this tour again, or any of the other tours on offer, next time we're in Florida.

It was the most awesome kayaking trip ever. Our guide Jeff was fantastic! He was patient with new kayakers & extremely knowledgeable of the habitat & wildlife. We were able to see several manatees even in the off season. Highly recommend this trip & this guide!
