Took my money yet refused to let us go.

Taffy_G, Aug 2022

The app did not allow me to add any kids so I figured the app was broke. I paid for 3 adults, the kids were 14 and 16, Then when we got there, they said an adult has to go with every kid so they refused to let us go. The guide didn’t offer to take one of my teens. I would have tipped him super well. Then they refused to refund any of our money.

Amazing unique experience

Luis_B, Aug 2022

Ashley was amazing and very helpful! Super knowledgeable about the surroundings! It is definitely a workout at 1st but well worth it! Would definitely come back!!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you for your kind words about Ashley. She's the. best!! The first half of the tour can definitely be a work out which is why we take a few stops along the way to let everyone break. We like to think the float down makes it all worth it ;) We can't wait to see you next time!

Better than expected scenic trip!

Brad_M, Aug 2022

Jeremy was amazing! Awesome knowledge of the area and a great lesson on the Florida ecosystem. Trip that most people are capable of doing. Worth giving it a try.

A glass bottom Kayak trip through crystal clear, blue waters, mix in a bit of wildlife, lush, semi-tropical scenery and a dip in the cool springs...this was one of the most uniquely satisfying tours in Florida!

Fun tour with cool stops, but kayaks were double not single like the pictures

Boris_N, Jul 2022

Overall, we had a fun experience on this tour. Our tour guide, Ashley, was good and we made some stops along the way in really cool spots. While paddling up river and against a current going in different directions got a bit frustrating at times, the overall experience is good. Also, the river is pretty narrow and there were A LOT of other kayaks, which created traffic jams and lots of bumps in tight turns. Finally, based on the pictures and lack of details in the description, I expected to have single kayaks. Instead, we had double kayaks, which made it harder to remain synchronous and moving forward in a straight line.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We're so pleased to hear you had a good time exploring with Ashley. She's awesome!! The first half of our tour we do paddle against the flow of the water which is why we take a few stops along the way to let everyone take breaks, swim, and take photos! The second half is a float back down. Our experience page does note that all of our kayaks are tandem and if you have an odd number in your party, and we have the availability, we can accommodate solo kayaks. We apologize for any water traffic you encountered!! There are other companies that launch at this waterway and we try our best to help with this by only taking out up to 10 guests per tour (5 tandem kayaks.) We appreciate the feedback and hope to see you again in the future!

So much fun!

Heather_C, Jul 2022

My daughter and I made the trip to Orlando for her graduation present. We decided to try kayaking and we absolutely loved it!

Beautiful landscape & amazing guide

Mikayla_K, Jun 2022

Amazing! Jeremy was our tour guide and he was very informative about the environment and extremely helpful & patient when it came to our kayaking skills! The landscape was beautiful and our guide definitely made the experience even better. Fun activity for couples and the “couples therapy” we needed.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Jeremy is awesome!! We couldn't agree more. We're so glad you were able to soak in the views with us and our clear kayaks. Haha, the experience can definitely be a team bonding exercise!! Thank you so much for the 5 stars and we hope you'll join us again on the water soon!

Brittany the best

Awesome experience for young and old. Even our 11 year old enjoyed it. A little tough going up stream, but lots of cool things to see.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thanks for exploring with us!! We're so glad you had a blast paddling alongside Brittany. She's awesome!!

Do it!

Sable_L, Jun 2022

My boyfriend and I traveled from Charlotte for a week trip in Orlando. So glad I found this! We loved it. Jimmy was a great guide and conversationalists. There were plenty of chances to take breaks and get in the water and swim. It wasn’t rushed at all, time for pictures and everything. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2022
