Great intro to FL wildlife - Our guide Rob was very knowledgeable and patient with our large group. Perfect adventure for all ages and a hot day in FL. Tree canopy kept the sun off and we saw turtles, fish, an otter and a healthy size gator. Fun adventure!

Great time! - The river guide was very knowledgeable and constantly checking in on us to make sure we were always safe and having fun. Due to low water levels, we had to stand up a few times and drag our kayaks through some shallow parts but it was still a very fun experience! Would definitely come back :)

Coming back was a bit... - Coming back was a bit more of a work out but so worth it because there is a current. We saw a very large alligator, a smaller one, many turtles, and jumping fish. The scenery was magnificent.

Take a walk and meet new friends - I enjoyed walking around Riverbend Park trails alongside the Loxahatchee River and elsewhere for free. I enjoyed meeting strangers/new friends.

Don't go if you care about the river! - While the guide/captain gives a great narrative of the river. wildlife and history, the tour boats are the problem. That part of the Loxahatchee River is a slow zone; however, the tour boats often go fast and that can silt up the shallow river and worse it increases the chances of hitting wildlife such as manatees. Additionally, these boats often go up river at lower tide and will hit bottom (just look at the outdrives on the boats for missing paint). This can scar the river bottom as well as damage the eel grass which is a stable for some wildlife.
