This was a great excursion! We saw at least 8 alligators and alot of other wildlife. Unfortunately didn't get to see a manatee, but that's just luck of the draw. Note that the tour says 9am-1pm, but we were on the water until at least 2pm, and it was hot! But apparently we had a headwind slowing us down. Gina was our guide and she was great. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience a beautiful Florida river.

This was a fantastic day on the river. Our guide, Sue, was friendly and very knowledgeable on the nature and wildlife throughout the kayak tour. We saw several alligators and birds! It was relaxing, beautiful and peaceful on the river. Sue took lots of pictures of us and navigated us through the river. This far exceeded my expectations, it was the best day we have had while in Orlando. We will definitely be back!

I was looking for a fun activity to do with my 2 teenagers and this 5h kayak tour led by Jimi, our guide, was fantastic! We booked last minute mid-week and Adventures in Florida was able to accommodate us for the next day. It was just the 3 of us and Jimy. Punctual, well organized, very informative, fun, with a picnic break (cheese, salami, crackers, fruit, cookies). We saw turtles, alligators, birds, and a manatee a few feet from our kayaks! Christmas in July!!! The tour ends at a small marina with bar. Go for it you won’t be disappointed!
