Guy was an excellent guide! We learned so much. He gave us a perfect balance of information and quiet time to enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. No manatee sightings but we didn't even care. It was a fantastic paddle.

Our guide was Guy and he did an excellent job with explaining everything from how to use the paddles, information about the manatees, local birds, plants, trees, and gators! He was very nice and knowledgeable. Unfortunately we did not see any manatee do to the warmer waters but seen plenty of gators that Guy would spot and always point out to us and he always made sure everyone got to see them. Thanks for a great trip I will never forget!!

We had an awesome time on this tour. Guy was our tour guide and he did a wonderful job. None of us had ever kayaked before and Guy did a demonstration before we got in to give us the basics. The tour went at a not too fast pace. We didn’t get to see any manatees because they have moved back out of the springs but we saw many birds including a bald eagle, huge fish and alligators of various sizes (one was 12 ft long!). We would definitely recommend this tour for others with Guy as your guide.
