Best BUCKET LIST adventure ever.
The tour was the best thing I have ever done in 60 years of living.i went into this with an open mind and the serenity I got was beyond my expectations.i felt the 2 hours was the perfect amount of time.i forgot the tour guides name but he was young and hot🥰🥰 and so informative.there was nobody else on the tour with is. Just me and my son and the hot young (21) tour guide and that made it even better.the cost was about $10.00 higher than other adventurous things I’ve done but the peace I got from this trip was well worth it and I have no complaints. Highly recommended and for us older folks it’s a must to put on your bucket list..

Sunset kayak
We originally booked the glow tour, but due to weather were not able to keep it. We were able to rebook and do the sunset tour the next day. We truly enjoyed the sunset kayak. It was beautiful and enjoyed seeing two bald eagles!! I do not remember our guides name, but he was awesome!! Will do again!!
Operator response
So glad you were able to join us on a sunnier day and so stoked you got to check out the eagles! Such stunning birds and what a memory to make on your paddle!

Best Kayak venture !
Me and my friend went kayaking for the first time ever and it was amazing Janson was our tour guide and was super sweet the views were amazing and the tour was just gorgeous we went when the sun was setting couldn’t have picked more of a better time for this tour. It was so peaceful and serene and getting hang of the kayak wasn’t too bad we got the hang of it after a while.

The day before Thanksgiving our kayak guide Keith was a southern charm. We met at Dinky Dock. He took a us out for a peaceful, informative cruise to see a beautiful sunset on Lake Victoria. One tip, go to the restroom before the trip. The public park bathroom was locked post ride.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad Keith charmed you with his guidance and made the sunset paddle so memorable. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Excellent easy adventure
Excellent easy adventure. Super guide, easy paddling , a part of Winter Park you’ll never see otherwise. The water was a bit murky and reflection from the sun kept us from seeing much in the water
Operator response
Thanks so much for the kind words! So glad you had a fun and easy paddle! We hope to adventure with you again in the future!

This was our first time kayaking, and it couldn’t have been better! Our guide, Keith, truly went above and beyond. He was knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the historic houses and the people who once lived there, he also had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and pointing out to us, the sunset was beautiful—a perfect end to an unforgettable adventure.
