Wekiva Wildlife Kayaking Adventure Tour
Description
If you are looking to get away from the crowds, this tour is for you! Come join me on the lower Wekiva River, where we will see Florida at its most natural. In this ecosystem we will see flora and possibly wildlife including birds, turtles, otters, deer, and maybe an alligator. This river is part of the St. Johns River which is the largest river in Florida so we do have a possibility of seeing the occasional manatee also. We’ll take an hour long journey up stream, and I’ll point out all the exciting nature there is along the way, and then we’ll float back down to the launch point. (there is a max weight limit of 250lbs for the single kayaks and 450lbs for the tandem)****Please note if you need a two person tandem****My kayak tours are capped at 6 kayaks per tour, perfect for families and smaller groups!

Great experience with Aaron. Great time kayaking through the river and the Springs. Discovery of Florida Springs and a lot of information about gators, manatees. We were able to see so many of them!
Thank you!
Great guide, knowedgeable, kind and encouraging! Small group, with us family of four he made it private, but max 6 persons, super chill! Guide takes pictures of you and the wildlife around you and sends it to you for FREE!
Thank you so much! Please come back and see us!
Our guide Aaron was very informative about the history of the lake and area. On the two hour tour he pointed out by name the birds, animals, and flora. You could truly enjoy the whole experience and stay in the moment. We didn't even have to stop and take photos, Aaron took care of it all. It's a must, if your in the area!
I did this tour in the morning before a business conference. Aaron was very knowledge about all the different birds and wildlife and gave good directions on how to steer the kayak as well. He adjusted his pace appropriately. He also took pictures and sent them to me so I did not need to worry about pulling out my phone (and possibly dropping it in the water).
Aaron took my husband and I out on the wildlife tour. Being a novice and very anxious, Aaron was so patient and kind with me. He was able to get me comfortable on the water in no time. He was extremely knowledgeable about about the area and all it’s inhabitants! We had a fabulous time and I highly recommend AWA Kayak tours and Aaron.
