we had the special treatment of a private tour with Matt. Since he is a biologist, we could ask every question (almost!) about the flora and animals that we saw on the tour. The river is spectacular, we saw a manatee (off season), alligator and lots of birds species. Matt was most informative about them all. The tour is quite long so bring a little snack to reboost your energy along the way if you are not a frequent kayaker! I most certainly recommand the activity, a good way to discover that there is so much much than amusement parks in Olrando!
