4.00The river is crystal clear and while a clear boat is cool, the bottom of the kayak is pretty scratched up so it’s not a clear view of what’s under you. Having said that, you can probably see a little more this way than with a regular kayak. Our guide Jacob was super knowledgeable and helpful. My only reason for not giving 5* is it was a bit crowded on the river as there are other outfitters and individual kayakers all using the same launch. So non holidays and weekdays would be much less crowded. If they do have a Limit restriction or monitor usage, it wasn’t apparent. It isn’t a deal breaker as other boaters are all friendly and helpful if you end up heading into oncoming “traffic “. But fewer people would have been a more peaceful experience. Loved the wild beauty and the exotic birds we saw. Even saw a huge turtle swimming across the river. The river is so shallow and we stopped and stood in the river periodically. It’s a sandy bottom except along the shoreline where invasive species grow (forgot the name). Oh and the water temp is 72 degrees and as its name reflects comes from an aquifer below the ground. So all spring fed fresh water.
Dani was awesome and no one tipped over!

5.00We had a great time and got to see gators and climb a tree. The course bottom of the boat made for an interesting time. Dani was a fun and knowledgeable guide.
Fun and relaxing
