First time and Proud
This was my first time in a kayak as a 53 year old female who hasn’t exercised in some time. The whole trip was just brilliant from start to end. Wilson was an incredible young man who put me at ease and ensured the entire duration suited all levels and ages. I was unsure whether to do this but I have had the best couple of hours and with some incredible people. Thanks Wilson you were really kind with uplifting energy
Operator response

Mini adventure
It was fun experiencing this side of Winter Park Lakes. Our tour guide Gunner was patient, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and always put safety first. The kayaks in other equipment used was well-maintained. We weren’t rushed so we could soak in the beauty of this mini adventure. It was is good way to spend time with others and gain knowledge of the surrounding area.

Amazing Winter Park Kayaking Experience!
As locals of the Orlando area, we still had never properly explored the winter park area, and this kayaking tour offered a unique touring experience for just that. Our guide Keith was absolutely amazing, with the right amount of knowledge and humor to impart on us, mixed with moments of just silence while we kayaked and enjoyed the scenery. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and some of the bigger homes as well. The tour took us through two major lakes as well as unique canals that connected all the waters together. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
Operator response
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you got to experience Winter Park from the water, even as locals it’s such a unique way to see the area. Keith will love hearing this. We’re happy you enjoyed the lakes, canals, and history along the way, and we really appreciate the recommendation. Hope to see you back out with us again!

Great time!
We visited here this past week and had Gunner as our tour guide. We did the two hour tour, which I feel is just the right amount of time on the water. Gunner was great and had a lot of good information to share and the lakes are lovely! I highly suggest this as an activity if you are in/around Orlando! Great afternoon out!
Operator response
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you enjoyed your time out on the water with Gunner. The 2 hour tour really is a great balance, and it’s awesome to hear you felt the same while getting to enjoy the lakes and all the information he shared. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again next time you’re in the Orlando area!
