Loveed our 2 hour tour - I booked with Real Florida Adventure with a friend who was visiting Florida for the first time and we had a great experience. I am a local and was even told about a river clean-up that's happening in a month that I hope to join! Great, friendly, helpful staff and great kayaks. Highly recommend

Fun and memorable experience - Our family had a wonderful and memorable experience. We were a little nervous going without a guide since it was only my second and my family’s first experience, but there was nothing to worry about. My kids and wife got the hang of it within minutes and the 2 hrs flew by. Highly recommend!

Amelia Trip - Great self-guided little kayak trip. Lady who provide kayaks and water bottles was very pleasant to deal with. Sadly for me and my wife, we only spotted a small turtle and a woodpecker. Trip was enjoyable. We would definitely do it again and recommend it.

Worth the money - Great experience. My husband and I saw a HUGE alligator, not going to lie I was a bit freaked out when it jumped in the water but my husband couldn’t have been more excited to experience it. 10/10
