My wife and I love kayaking, and we were eager to do that in Orlando as well. Greg was very professional, and we had a great time. The kayaks were in excellent condition; better than any we have gotten from other rental or touring companies. Greg clearly knows his way around the river, and we saw quite a few alligators and manatees. There were some other people as part of a local Meetup group, and they were very nice as well. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys kayaking, or just wants a different way to see the river.

This was both mine and my boyfriends favourite thing we did in Orlando! The views alone were incredible, and our guide was so much fun and so knowledgeable. It really was the perfect day!

1. You can see several underwater wildlife/plants - Bull allegator, when a cockroach cries in the genitals, there are three cockroaches around. But the delayed Guide told me it was not dangerous at all, and I was actually able to safely see crabs in the street within 50 meters. And the Guide also explained how the shrimp grabs the female, and how it responds to other male crying. Very useful and fun. - An alien-like bird, a manatee, a palm-shaped frog, a frog and a manatee. - Explain a variety of foods; there was also a flower from Korea (?) - History and local sights related to Florida are very useful. 2. Snacks. - You made the cookies yourself. They're delicious. - There's a lot of delicious snacks, like candy, cheese, salami, cherries, and when I get tired, I get tired. - Give me water. 3. Competent Guide - Flora and Wekiva rivers, flora and fauna - Friendly and trustworthy. 4. Good to know. - Not slippers, Sandals. - Toilets have to be fixed in the river. Be careful. - It's sunny, so you'll have a good UV shutter. - The last part of the section can cause pain in the arm. It's not a very easy difficulty, it requires some strength. But shouldn't it be as fast as wet or exercise? - When you get cash, we can give you Guide tips
