We were in Florida for spring break with our teenage son. The kayaking trip was a very welcome break from the crowds and parks. Our guide Sue was outstanding, and we learned a ton of area history and natural science from her. We are all seasoned paddlers and Sue adapted the trip to our skill level. We wouldn’t hesitate to take another tour with her! Thanks!!!!

Highly recommend the Wekiva river paddle! It’s just the thing if you want to escape the craziness of Orlando and experience a more natural Florida. Our guide Bill was an expert on the flora and fauna and took us on a leisurely paddle while gently pointing out interesting bits along the way. This is a do not miss alternative activity!

Outstanding! We are experienced paddlers and were very impressed with the beauty and serenity of Wekiva River. There was an abundance of wildlife. My husband and I were freaking out about the alligators. Bill, our tour guide was amazing. He is so knowledgeable and calm. Bill gave us so much information during our trip. Alligators are not interested in us. We saw a lot of the sunning themselves, one actually crossed the river while we’re kayaking. After we completed our trip we had a wonderful lunch, decadent, salami and cheese and homemade cookies. There was humus and carrots if you wanted to be healthy. Definitely worth going on this adventure. Ask for Bill.

What a day!! My partner and myself had the best day with Sue. The weather was perfect, the river was gorgeous, the wild life just wow and the whole experience was perfect. Never done this before, and I'll most definitely be coming back. Sue made this experience so interesting and fun. We can't thank you enough. Also thank you for the jaffa cakes lol Xxx
