We spent about 5 hours kayaking on the Wekiva river with our amazing guide, Tia. She was a fountain of knowledge about the eco-system, the birds, animals, and plants. We saw upwards of 50 alligators who were peacefully sunning themselves on the banks and hundreds of birds, all in a peaceful, natural, beautiful corner of the planet.
I highly recommend this tour and ask for Tia if you have an option. A perfect day on the river!

Private Wekiva River Kayaking
My group of 2 adults and 4 teenagers did the private guided tour of Wekiva River. Sue and Tia are both excellent guides. They are friendly, knowledgeable and easy going.
All 6 of us enjoyed the time we spent exploring the Wekiva River. We are moderately experienced paddlers and found this to be a very easy and relaxing paddle. We really enjoyed the flexible nature of the trip and that our guides were not stuck to a rigid schedule. As a bonus, the weather was perfect and we basically had the river to ourselves. The scenery is incredible. We also saw (and heard) a variety of birds, several turtles and 1 small alligator.
The company is under new ownership so the webpage description of the tour no longer matches the actual tour. For us, this was not a big deal and we loved the experience we had. However, I would recommend the owner rectifies this as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you are booking this tour, find out the details directly from the new owner to ensure it still matches what you are looking for.
The private tour is a flat rate price that includes up to 5 guests. Given the kayaks are 2 person kayaks, the cost to add a 6th person seemed rather high to me. Whether there are 5 or 6 guests, the company is supplying 3 kayaks. Perhaps a review of this pricing structure is warranted? Having said that, I appreciated the ability to add the 6th person 2 days before the trip.
Overall, the tour was worth the cost and gets full marks from our group.

We are so glad that you had a great experience. The trip you did was a modified version of the Wekiva River tour. We will have 2 different versions of this tour. One for beginners to intermediates, and the second for more experienced paddlers. This is based on feedback from people who have done this trip. As for the tour charges, we charge per person, not the boat. We have a minimum of 5 for a private tour, with additional charges per extra person (being the same amount as the first 5) In the end, you got two great guides! I am happy the trip was a success.

Awesome kayak experience!
Dana was an incredible guide! We saw an alligator, many cool native birds and got to paddle with 3 manatees for about 30 minutes of the tour. The Wekiva River is such an amazing wildlife area. I would highly recommend this tour! Very peaceful and lots of interesting wildlife.

Greg was an amazing tour guide - friendly, engaging and shared so much local knowledge. We had a great day on the river despite it being a cloudy day and the homemade cookies at lunch were delicious! Highly recommended tour.

Cancelled late on day before
Meant to be a holiday highlight, the tour was cancelled late on the day before with email and phone calls going answered. Luckily I managed to find an alternative tour company.

We hate having to cancel any tour. Most times it is out of our control, be it hurricanes, flooding, or a boat ramp being closed down last minute. We contact our guests the moment we find out a tour must be canceled. A full refund is always issued and if we know when the tour can operate again we give everyone the chance to rebook.

Not Happy
Tour was cancelled on me by vendor. I must wait for 7 days for my $200.00 refund while on vacation. I could have used these funds to book another event!!! I'm not happy. No one reached out to me on your end to see if I needed support with anything. It was not until I called to ask questions a out my refund. Again, not happy with customer servic Thank you and be well.
