5.00Relaxed, fun and informative kayak outing with Matt as our guide. Well worth doing. Drive up, you’re on the water within 15 minutes. Beautiful Cypress- lined, narrow river with an interesting history. Matt was upbeat and knowledgeable.
Great trip!

5.00What a fantastic tour! Great scenery, lots of wildlife (alligators, owls and turtles) and a wonderful tour guide (Matthew) who was so knowledgeable about the history of the area and animals seen from our kayaks. We’ve done several other kayak tours in Florida but this one was superior, in large part thanks to Matthew! Highly recommended if you’re in the Jupiter area - and a good value for the money.
You feel like you go back...

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Wild & Scenic Loxahatchee River Tours. Donna, our guide, was a pro and led us up and back the river with no problems. She showed us wildlife (gators and gator babies) and told us interesting facts the entire way. We loved every minute.
It was all very well run...

5.00It was all very well run and easy to park, change clothes, use restrooms, get things from your car, but make sure you have a strong back!!
Take a walk and meet new friends

4.00I enjoyed walking around Riverbend Park trails alongside the Loxahatchee River and elsewhere for free. I enjoyed meeting strangers/new friends.
Don't go if you care about the river!

2.00While the guide/captain gives a great narrative of the river. wildlife and history, the tour boats are the problem. That part of the Loxahatchee River is a slow zone; however, the tour boats often go fast and that can silt up the shallow river and worse it increases the chances of hitting wildlife such as manatees. Additionally, these boats often go up river at lower tide and will hit bottom (just look at the outdrives on the boats for missing paint). This can scar the river bottom as well as damage the eel grass which is a stable for some wildlife.
One of the Top two adventurers we’ve experienced in south Florida.
