5.00This was a spur of the moment adventure for us that was thoroughly enjoyable. Matthew was a terrific guide with extensive knowledge of the history of the river. He spotted a couple of gators and a few turtles during the paddle and took pictures of them for us. He also took pictures of everyone in our group and texted us copies. I highly recommend this kayaking tour. When you book it, ask for Matthew. You won't regret it.
Beautiful experience....

5.00Candace was our guide and it was just great from the start. It was my family’s first time kayaking and she was patient , gave us a pre lesson and was awesome for the duration of the river tour. Sje did not rush us at all!! The river and environment itself was just beautiful. Candice shared knowledge of the river and its history which was cool. It was just a very neat change of pace family day on the river . My kids already asked when can we do that again and can we please buy kayaks !! Lol oh and I should mention Amanda was great in getting us booked for this tour- Amanda and Candace are just great!

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...
