Our family had an amazing experience taking a trip down the Wakiva River with Greg and Bill. We saw manatees, aligators, and a wide variety of birds on our outing. We highly recommend them for your next outing!

Our tour guide Jimmi was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the kayaking alone was a fun and enlightening experience. I was a tad disappointed that our group did not see any alligators or manatees, but I know that is not under anybody's control. However, I'm not happy that the tour did not match the description in a few ways, which made it worth much less than an experience I would expect for $85.60 per person. One key thing is that our tour only lasted 3 hours, as we started at 9AM and we were out of our boats by 12PM. I thought there must be another walking tour portion over lunch because we were way under time, but we were simply sent home at that point. Also, lunch was NOT included in our tour, which is something I had expected because it is included in the description. If we had a full 4-hour tour and didn't have lunch, I wouldn't have minded, but given that we were done in 3 hours and still weren't provided lunch, I feel a bit ripped off.

Wonderful tour in kayak on the river in Blue Spring State park. Gina and Bill were the best guides👏☀️🙏 They knew everything about the wildlife in and around the river. We saw alligators, lots of birds and Ospreys! We are a family (2 adults and 2 children 12 and 14years) and it was perfect with a 2pers kayak. There was some current and it was tough doing it on your own. We didn’t see any manatees -it’s too hot in July🤩 Unfortunately there was another family on the tour and they were very noisy. Bill tried to tell them that the animals would be scared, but they didn’t listen to him😠
