Gary was exceptional! - We enjoyed a fabulous kayaking tour through the waters in search of manatees! Gary was super knowledgeable, which made for an interesting time. We spotted bald eagles, several varieties of water birds, different fish and beautiful flowers. No manatees on this trip, but we were a bit late in the season. Gary was gracious enough to take pictures throughout the trip, which he shared with us at the end. Wonderful experience! I highly recommend the Weeki Wachee eco tour!

100% worth it! So much fun! - This is an amazing way to spend a few hours seeing stunning views from a clear kayak. The launching site was a small fishing camp and everyone there was so friendly. Davis was our guide and I can’t say enough good things about him. He made us feel comfortable and safe. He was knowledgeable and fun. He helped us to find wildlife. Spotted a huge bald eagle nest and some fledglings. Just amazing tour! Book it!

Celeste the guide led the way to the manatees !! - My husband and I had amazing tour with Celeste, She taught us so much about manatees and nature and was very done to earth as well as fun to hang out with. Celeste led the way to some manatees, and we got to hang out and watch a junior for a good while minutes. Celeste is very knowledgeable about nature and was able to identify so many of the birds we had seen on our tour as well. What a bonus it was that she sent us pictures after that smashing day. Thanks Celeste!!

So fun! - Jodi was such a great tour guide! The water was too low for us to get to the springs but she more than made up for it by touring us down every path we could possibly take on the hunt for wildlife. Such a fun trip!!

Great fun with Gary! - We had an excellent tour with Gary! He taught us so much and was a lot of fun to hang out with. Gary had connections to help find some manatees and we got to hang out and watch a mom and baby for a good 15 minutes. It was so helpful that Gary took a ton of pictures and gave them to us at the end of our tour. Such a fantastic experience!

Great morning on the Weeki Wachee - What a great experience! This was our first guided kayak trip, and our first time to visit Weeki Wachee. Gary was our guide, and he was amazing! His prior guide experience and knowledge of the area a wildlife were top notch! The weather was perfect and we were lucky enough to see a few manatees even though it was later in the season for them in this area. I wanted to get back in the boat and go again as soon as I got out!!
