Fantastic experience getting close to the wildlife of the swamp. We saw 4 or 5 alligators, lots of turtles and owls, a cute raccoon sleeping inside a log, vultures and even a Cottonmouth snake. The environment is really peaceful. Far cry from the hustle and bustle of the city. Don’t need to worry if you haven’t kayaked before as it’s nice and relaxed and you don’t get left behind. Also most of the alligators were small and shy so you don’t feel threatened in any way.

I had a great time kayaking with guide Gerald. Luckily I was the only one in the group on the day I went, so I got the opportunity to pick Gerald's brains about the swamp. Gerald was extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and together we spotted raccoons, turtles, fish, and lots of birds including kingfishers, woodpeckers, and bald eagles, as well as hearing owls calling. We didn't see any alligators--it was a bit cold--but that's the way it goes in nature and it didn't detract from my experience at all. Personally I prefer to be as unobtrusive as possible in wild environments, and kayaking offers just that. Highly recommend!

If it was not for our excellent tour guide the tour would of been a flop. It was on the chilly side so not much to see. Saw one little gator, being from Florida gators are common.
