This was my first “adventure” tour. I cannot believe I had not discovered this earlier but am hooked and planning my next. Guides were phenomenal and great cooks! Saw lots of wildlife-manatees, monkeys, gators, and birds. Highly recommend Adventures in Florida.

Econlohatchee Self Guided canoe rental. Wow. Use this outfitter, don't even think twice. As a Florida native of Old Florida, (I grew up in the 60's on the coast) this trip is an amazing, convenient dip into wild Florida. This trip is for people with some experience canoeing and camping but it's totally safe and easy. Yes, airplane traffic from MCO can be heard, but otherwise you'd think you were so far away from it all. We did the 20 mile paddle and spent the night on the river, and it was everything I hoped for. It was serene. You could power paddle it in 6 hours but we took two days and drifted quietly quite a bit. We saw otters, fish, many large polite alligators, herons of every kind, bitterns, egrets, limpkins, and near the St. Johns, many spoonbills and wood storks. Our campsite was perfect....white sand beach, flat grassy tent spots. There are plenty of those. Along the way, there are a couple of sulfur springs feeding in, you'll smell it for a minute as you pass, but it's a good thing. Greg is an amazing, knowledgable guy who grew up around here. You will love the Little Big Econ and this outfitter.

This was a great trip. Greg and Bill were excellent guides. I recommend them highly. They were well organized, yet flexible to adapt plans according to the weather.

Greg and Bill led us through five days of exploring the Okefenokee Swamp. Their knowledge of the swamp and all of its creatures from river otters and feral hogs to alligators to hawks and waterfowl made the swamp come to life. Off river, they fed us healthy, taste food and answered all of our questions. The state park offers cottages with plenty of hot water, clean rooms, rocking chairs on screened in porches, and an internet cafe.

A wonderful trip in every way. Greg and Bill chose different paddling locations for each day, and offered hiking and paddling options following the one rainy morning. The Suwanee River is a serene and beautiful nature experience. Greg and Bill do it all: planning paddle locations, loading/unloading boats, help getting in and out of kayaks, and all cooking delicious varied meals, and clean up. What a great vacation!

Kayaking in the Okefenokee and Suwannee River, early morning, chilly, but scenic hikes, a 5 star experience. The meals, all prepared by our leader, were six star. Comfortable, 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottages in Stephen C Foster State Park.

it's beautiful we had a lot of fun. we're surely comeback and try some activities they offer. i really enjoyed the experience.

Just finished The St Augustine lodge based trip. What a fantastic time we had! Bill and Greg are such knowledgeable guides on the rivers. Trip was well planned and the home cooked meals outstanding. Care was given to accomodate the needs of all particioants.

Fabulous trio Pelicer Creek, Princess Place, cabins are fabulous, fun time, great meals, Greg n Bill are awesome tour guides. Just sign up and GO on any of the paddles. My next one is Okefenokee Swamp! Then Silver Springs!

Meant to be a holiday highlight, the tour was cancelled late on the day before with email and phone calls going answered. Luckily I managed to find an alternative tour company.

It was great to kayak among actual wild alligators and real natural beauty just a few miles from urban Orlando and the theme parks. Even with the post-storm higher waters, Saw and photographed multiple gators and herons and bald eagles and more. Great guide - accommodating, knowledgeable, skilled, and engaging. The Econlockhatchee River is winding and sheltered, with anticipation around every corner. Well worth it!

The Kayak trip: amazing wildlife tour with view of alligators and lots of birds. The material: high quality equipment, very safe The guides: Very professional, friendly and you can ask them a lot of questions they will know to answer. Very helpful and adaptive to the kayaking skills of the visitor Highlights: Despite the fact that it was only the two of us, they did not cancel the tour but gave us the experience with two guides. A snack was offered that included amazing chocolate cookies handmade by the owner of the business. An overall absolutely recommendable tour, we chose it as an alternative to an airboat tour and it turned out to be the absolute highlight of our Florida Trip. Thank you very much for giving us this experience!

I cannot recommend this tour enough. Lucas, our guide, was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone felt safe and was fun to converse with. The place that we launched from had some light pollution but Lucas explained that they use this body of water because the deepest it gets is 8 feet or so. They provide life vests and give a safety talk and walk any newcomers through how to use their kayak. He took our group to 2 islands and let us get out if we wanted to and swim in the bioluminescence. The experience was on my bucket list and was absolutely worth it. My suggestion, do your research to see if you’re going when the bioluminescence is brighter and when the moon is darker. Also don’t forget to bring a tip for your guides because they really are so amazing!

Overall A really good experience and seeing the bioluminescence was really spectacular. However instructions to the place we not correct but we found it in the end. The tour only last 1hr 30 minutes and at times the guide did not appear very interested and coming back seemed very keen to get back

Had an amazing river kayaking trip with Lucas a little over a week ago. Our kids (9, 12, & 14) were a little nervous as it was only their 2nd time kayaking, but Lucas made sure they felt comfortable on the water and shared his wildlife knowledge with us which they really enjoyed, especially learning about snake birds and their "special powers". The river was beautiful and gave us a glimpse of another side of Florida that we had not experienced before. It was quiet and peaceful with lots of wildlife to be seen. We were incredibly fortunate it to see around 10 alligators (small and never concerning), a turtle, several types of birds, and even a manatee! Our stop for lunch was great and the food provided - cold cuts, cheese, crackers, spinach dip, cherries, and oreos definitely hit the mark for our group. We had a really great time and would definitely recommend Adventures in Florida as well as our guide, Lucas. Thanks for some great memories!
