5First Time Kayaker
This was my first time kayaking and Zoe, our tour guide made it an amazing experience for us!! She's very knowledgeable of the area and she shared many stories relating to the things we saw on our tour. I was scared at first, and Zoe definitely eased my stress and fear. She was very understanding and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend this kayaking tour to anyone! It was a relaxing, amazing time.

About Jacksonville
Jacksonville, in north-east Florida, is a sprawling river city on the St Johns, with Atlantic beaches, parks, museums and a historic riverside.
Jacksonville straddles the St Johns River near the Atlantic, a river that flows north, and the consolidated city is the largest in the contiguous United States by area. Downtown's Riverwalk follows the riverbank, and neighbourhoods such as Riverside and Avondale have tree-lined streets, shops and early twentieth-century houses. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens sits on the riverbank.
