Wife’s Birthday Kayaking Adventure Searching for Manatees at Weeki Wachee Spring - My Wife and I had a great time celebrating her birthday 🎂 kayaking Weeki Wachee Spring and searching for manatees on February 19, 2026. We were lucky to see 3 manatees, an otter, various birds (eagles, blue herons, little blue herons, tricolor herons) and various fish (gar, sheepshead). Our guide was Raven and she was awesome! She was very knowledgeable about Florida’s flora and fauna and engaged with us and the other couple on our tour from start to finish. Thanks again Raven!

独特的皮划艇体验! - Amazing experience with Raven. We learned a lot of ecology knowledge! And clear water for kayak peddling! 很棒的体验!导游Raven很耐心的帮忙讲解如何划小艇,一路讲解,回答问题,并且帮忙找海牛,一路上一共看到六只海牛,体验很好。这里挨着保护区,水质很好很清澈。这个季节来应该是最佳体验,温度舒适,还能看到动物活动。
