Serene Kayak ride on calm river in Amelia Island - Easy, picturesque and highly enjoyable! Our guide had been kayaking his whole life and quickly adjusted for beginners to more advanced. Lots of knowledgeable nature and native animal tidbits as you stroll down the river. Do you know where the saying “money grows on trees” is from? I do now, after this ride!

Relaxed Informative Tour - Good guide, nice day, calming trip after arriving by plane the night before. Interesting FL bayou. Fortunately we were the only kayak and had the guide to ourselves.

Excellent - I had an excellent experience our guide( can't remember his name) was funny knowledgeable and just the type of person that loves what he does. We got the opportunity to see two alligators, old train track.The train passed by us. But we did get caught in these. Weeds, but that probably was the best part cause we all chipped in and helped each other, and it's added a little adventure to the trip. I plan to go back down to Jacksonville. This summer, and I would definitely do another excursion with this company..

3 hours of magic - Our trip to Cumberland Island was fantastic. The tour guide, CJ, was a wealth of knowledge for the entire trip. The beauty of the island was incredible: the shore birds were sweet and the horses were gorgeous. The tour was three hours long and a great workout! It went so fast with lots of laughs along the way. What a day!
