Had an amazing time! Izzy was awesome and was really good about pointing out the wildlife and give a good overview on the history of the river and why it’s special. Highly recommend, though make sure you wear bottoms that can get wet haha

Had an awesome night glow tour with Kat! Super chill, beautiful views, and Kat made the whole experience fun and easy. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique way to enjoy the water at night.

Best experience ever! Shawn was an amazing tour guide. All of the staff were very friendly and great people. I would recommend to everyone regardless of skill level. Cannot wait to get out again! P.s we saw a beaver, turtles, alligator gar, bats, a barn owl, and plenty of fish

We had the best time taking the tour. It was very relaxing, fun and we learned so many things with our guide. Definitely recommend Bri as a tour guide, she awesome!!!

Jaden was the best guy ever. Definitely knew a lot of information on the tour and was super welcoming and fun! Highly recommend him for your tour guide.
