Wildlife SUP tour at Wekiva - Best SUP tour and route to experience around Orlando. Ned was a great guide and took me to some great spots while describing the local history and some other great places to check out. We had a chance to see tons of wildlife native to the area. Baby crocs, turtles, herons, schools of tilapia and a few gar. I would definitely recommend and repeat a visit to Wekiva Island for a great day trip adventure.
