5Wonderful!
Trey was a wonderful guide, shared a lot of good information and kept it interesting.
4Great river trip
Ellie slayed. Trip started in the rain and ended with some beautiful sun. Such a fun experience.
4Fun and beautiful
Ellie was awesome! If too hot you won’t see alligators but we got to see a bear and turtles. Also the landscape is beautiful. Dont book if kids are going…The screaming/yelling will scare the gators …. Take some bug spray (mandatory)
5Awesome trip!
Our experience was amazing. We saw 5 gators! It was great experience and we would do it again!
5Highly recommend
Wonderful tour and tour guide! We thought we might not get to see any gators but we were surprised with two! The kayaking overall was easy and our guide was relaxed and knowledgeable. Accessing the location was easy (we used the details provided and downloaded the maps ahead of time since we would likely not have service). Bring very good bug spray!
5Great tour!
Lee was a great guide for our tour! Learned a lot about local history, a lot of the birds, and had a great time! We came across an alligator eating and then just floating along, right out the gate! The sights were beautiful and so fun!
