Traveler Reviews

Florida native who had never experienced something like this until recently. Greg was amazing in the detail of knowledge he had, and the Wekiwa offered some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. This is a must do in Orlando for sure!

I had a fantastic time kayaking! My friends and I had never been kayaking before, so this was our first experience. Greg was our guide and is highly knowledgeable and helpful! We learned a lot about the different wildlife and plants in and around the water and how to stay safe when interacting with them. I definitely would recommend it for anyone who has never gone kayaking before!

This was just awful. Nothing about this experience was worth repeating. Before we left home, I received a call that the trip I had booked was too full. He was very friendly and professional about it. I was asked if we wanted to do a different trip and I asked if it was the same beautiful clear water with sandy bottom like the picture of the booked trip, and was told that it was - "just a different part of the same river". That trip was scheduled for 15 minutes earlier and there would be a $15 launch fee which we needed to bring in cash - on top of the $150 I'd already paid. Having never been to the area, and with zero familiarity with the "river," I agreed. Our lodging had become prepaid and non-refundable 2 weeks before, so what's $15 more, right? I can't even remember all of the times I've been canoeing in my life, so many times, but will never forget this, which I hope will remain the worst canoeing experience of my life. Except for the close encounters with herons & alligator, it

The leader, Bill, and his associate, Gina, were wonderfully knowledgeable and super friendly. Bill pointed out a banded water snake and a log filled with baby alligators we would have paddled right by. We saw many different water birds too. It was a peaceful river paddle with beautiful landscape. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a day on the water.

Excellent staff and equipment with fabulous communication. We recommend this experience for those wanted to experience Florida nature on the water.
