5Self guided tour at Lofton
Wonderful experience. Kayak was there waiting for us and the lady who assisted us was more than accommodating and so kind. Would 100% recommend!
5Great experience
Friendly Staff, comfortable back Rests on the Kajak (Best Stuff ever…) We saw turtles, Alligators, It was a Great Experience!
3Convenient rental
If i where rating for convenience and wildlife viewing it would be a 5 i gave it a 3 due to the brand of kayak there are other brands that have better maneuverability. Also be aware of the tide unless you are able to get out and move accross fallen trees.
5Fun afternoon kayak
Easy kayak up/down the creek. Saw several turtles and lots of birds. Thankfully no gators although we were warned we could see them. Overall fun experience, we will be back!
5Self guided paddle big cypress
Lots of fun. It was a great afternoon adventure for all skill levels. Lots of wildlife to see. We went last week of August.
5Excellent trip, excellent value
As a newcomer to the Jacksonville I was delighted with this trip. We saw a Bobcat on a tree that was over the river! I am told this is rare. And of course my first alligator sighting was memorable. The river was delightful and the host was also delightful

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.
