Atividade sensacional. No inverno tem muitos peixe bois em todos os lugares. Além deles vimos jacarés, muitos pássaros, tartarugas e ariranhas. Steve não só sabia dos animais, como tinha toda a história do local na ponta da lingua e olha que eu perguntei muito!

We had an amazing time with our 2hr clear kayak tour. Our tourguide, Isaac, does a really good job pointing out wildlife and explaining about them. He’s very knowledgeable and great at taking pictures. Would definitely recommend people to check it out

Tried a few outfitters and by far they are the most experienced and personable. Well done. We went in Oct. 72 with 52% Unity and sunny sky’s. Amazing weather. Allow 4-5 hours with one pit stop. Bring your small food and drink cooler to fit on the kayak.

This is an incredible spring. An incredible river. Because for 5 miles you’re in the deep jungle with no houses or human development. Just you and so many species of birds and manatees and monkeys and tropical plants that make you feel like your drifting down the river where Tarzan was filmed. Oh wait, it was filmed here. Loved it. Plus you get to float one way and get picked up on the other end. Easy. Totally appropriate for a beginning Kayakers.

We had an incredible and unforgettable time with our tour guide, Steve. He's very knowledgeable and informative to help you spot the many forms of wildlife you will see. What made it even more of a phenomenal experience is that we had the opportunity to observe some manatees during our tour. This is hands down an incredible experience and will consider a future trip.
