Excellent Tour-Kayaking Florida

Had a great time with our guide Steve Tyndall, very informative of the river, history and wildlife. Took time to explain things and time to just float along and enjoy the scenery without being rushed along. Worth going on to learn about the river before doing self guide

Nature Experience

Guide was knowledgeable, and very nice. It just seemed like a lot of money for the experience. The other kayak tour at the park was even more expensive. This one is the least expensive of the two.
