Dana was an incredible guide! We saw an alligator, many cool native birds and got to paddle with 3 manatees for about 30 minutes of the tour. The Wekiva River is such an amazing wildlife area. I would highly recommend this tour! Very peaceful and lots of interesting wildlife.
Only minutes from Orlando, this paddling trip is the most scenic in all of central Florida. Come enjoy a day of paddling clear water, sand pine scrub, hammocks, pine flat woods and black water swamps. This trip offers a great opportunity to observe Alligators, the rare Black Bear, Manatee and numerous wading birds in their natural environment, all from the safety of your kayak. A riverside light lunch is provided picnic style.

Definitely an enjoyable tour, make sure to bring sunscreen! They do provide lunch and bottled water which is a nice touch.

Kayaking through the Wekiva River was an unforgettable adventure—wildlife sightings around every bend and stunning photo ops throughout.
We spotted so many incredible animals in their natural habitat, making it feel like a real Florida safari.
Our guide’s deep knowledge and passion brought the journey to life and made the experience truly memorable.
