A Truly Amazing Experience - This was a highlight of my trip to Orlando. Good equipment and a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Only a few miles out of downtown Orlando you are immediately totally immersed into a tranquil environment of clear water, towering trees, fish and wildlife (even saw a couple of alligators) . It is an easy paddle suitable for even the most novice paddler. Two hours of peace and being at one with nature in a most beautiful environment.

DO THIS EXPERIENCE TODAY!! - Joshua was our guide and It’s impossible, not to be impressed by the amount of knowledge that this guy has!! So nice and welcoming and kind and so personable within three minutes of getting to know the group he had everybody’s name down!! If you are looking for a cool experience than look no furthur you wont be disappointed! Not the best most experience kayakers and we had no problem so don’t be nervous. Get out of your comfort zone and give this a chance. It was awesome and my 11 year old son had an amazing time!!

Great day! - Ryan was an amazing tour guide. Awesome guided experience. Thought about not using a guide but we were all very glad we had Ryan to point things out and tell us about the area.

Great time! Wear sunscreen! - Had an awesome time on our guided kayaking tour. Initially booked a tandem kayak and the staff were super accommodating when we asked to change to two single kayaks instead. The staff were super friendly and were lots of fun! Our guide Ryan was very knowledgeable and patient with those of us who weren’t the strongest kayakers. Would definitely recommend and would go again!

Awesome Tour! - Did a 2-hr guided tour, booked w Expedia as part of our vacation from Ontario Canada. My 70yr old inexperienced mother & I had an Amazing time! Would 100% recommend! The guide, Josh, was super knowledgeable about the wildlife & the ecosystem, the tour was easy but super cool to see different birds take flight, turtles & take in the beountiful surroundings! We didn't see any alligators during our paddle, but they're there somewhere. This trip was the highlight of our week long stay!

Great kayak adventure - Viator messed up the time of my kayak trip, telling me it was at 1pm and Cypress tour 10 am. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a guided trip anyway. Our guide Catherine was wonderful. She found a baby and then the momma alligator for us to see. Lots of turtles, osprey and beautiful Cyprus forest. An easy, very fun kayak!! Highly recommended!!!!

Memorable, fun and informative - will do again! - What a fun, relaxing, low key way to see a whole different view of Florida! The guide was great, very knowledgeable, friendly, and committed to preserving Florida's ecology. Easily one of the best things we did on our trip.

This was a great trip to... - This was a great trip to view local wildlife and the natural beauty of the waterways of Florida. We traveled with our teenage children and had a blast learning about local animals and their habitat. Great tour and a great way to relax and learn about the area.

Amazing kayaking experience - Great two hour kayaking tour with Josh (the guide). He was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and gave us a very informative tour. He made sure we were happy in the kayaks and gave me a helping nudge when required. It was so lovely to get away from the crazy theme parks of Orlando and see some nature. Paddling past a gator who was up on the bank was an incredible experience that I’ll never forget 😊
