We’re a family of 4, with 2 and 4 years old kids. We had the canoe. We all had fun and enjoyed. It was the first time our kids experienced kayaking and they enjoyed it. We had the best tour guides, very knowledgeable and Informative about the area. It was nice to hear some new information about Jacksonville and some of the wildlife after living here for over a dozen years. Will definitely recommend to other people.

Relaxing & enjoyable experience. We learned a lot from the guide about the vegetation along the way. We saw turtles, birds, fish jumping out of the water, and an alligator from afar. Great time!

We enjoyed an easy 3+ mile paddle with Zoey. The slow current helped on the way out while she provided some comments on the flora and fauna of the area. We saw an 8 foot gator at a distance along with some smaller baby gators and a number of turtles. No mosquitoes on this tour either which was an added bonus.

We were able to bring our own kayaks. Chris was our guide he was friendly, patient and helpful with our 8 yr old, who was struggling a bit. He even helped us and lent us some gear to help hook up her kayak to ours. It was a great kayak experience, Chris was very knowledgeable about the area. Thank you Chris. Would definitely go again.
