Very pleasant kayak tour - We just had a very pleasant kayak tour with Gary. A great guide on the water, explaining a lot about the ecosystem, the fish, birds, dolphins and manatees.

Unforgettable amazing tour - This is my first time to take such kind of tour. It was fantastic and far beyond my expectations. I took this tour with my daughter and we were so excited to see manatees during the tour as well as the beautiful river scenery. Many thanks to our guide Davis and photographer Chase to make our tour an unforgettable one. Davis introduced a lot of knowledge to us and Chase took many great photos for us. I have referenced this tour to my family friends and can’t wait to take it the second time in the future. Highly recommend!!!

Pick another location! - Our guide, Vinnie, was excellent!!! Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this experience due to high cost and lack of things to see. We saw a dolphin at the very beginning of the trip, but nothing after that. The Weekei Watchi was overcrowded with people...boaters, jet skis, you name it! No reason to pay for a 'clear' kayak since there was nothing in the water to see.
