This was a great time. We never thought we'd get so close to alligators. (Well, maybe a little TOO close...) And the herons are gorgeous. We'd definitely do this again.

This was the highlight of our vacation! We saw lots of wildlife and got amazing pictures and videos of birds, owls, alligators and manatees. Kenny is wonderful guide and we highly recommend this adventure! We will definitely do this again!

Our family of 4 (two parents, a 5 year old and 7 year old) just had an amazing day kayaking on the St. John River with Kenny. Jenny and Kenny both helped us figure out how to drive our huge camper down to the river as we did this during a road trip. The actual trip started around 9:30AM and Kenny had everything ready for us! His fun and laid back personality made the trip with two children amazing as he is a wealth of knowledge about the river and ecosystem, but he is also incredibly friendly and funny.. On any other day we could have kayaked and maybe have seen a turtle. With Kenny's guidance we got to see a pair of Bald Eagles, many manatees, Limpkins, turtles, alligators, many different birds and even had our lunch under an owl who was preening and hooting for us! He had interesting facts for all of these animals and was really able to paint a picture of how this entire ecosystem works with the plant knowledge as well. This will be a highlight of our year long road trip adventure that we are on right now!

I'm not into theme parks or tourist traps. I love being active, outside, and viewing wildlife in its natural habitat. When I discovered this kayak trip was a short drive outside of Orlando (where my parents are staying for the winter) I signed up. Wow. My husband and I had a wonderful time. The day was cold but sunny, and the wind was a challenge. However, Kenny the kayak guide lent me his gloves and coached us across the white-capped river. Lots of birds to see. We paddled through the woods (wow!). And of course, the manatees. An unforgettable excursion - I highly recommend it!

We did a kayaking tour looking for manatees with Kenny in Blue Springs State Park. It was unforgettable! Very knowledgeable, relaxed and fun. A day we'll never forget. They make everything very easy for you. We're recommending it to everyone we know!

Great trip and I highly recommend Ken as guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. When others in the party cancelled, he still took me on a solo tour that was delightful. This trip was well worth the cost and time. I would do it again if opportunity arose.

I went on the Winter Manatee tour with Kenny and had a great time peddling along the St John River. We saw manatees, turtles, gators and lots of interesting birds. Kenny is the most relaxed tour guide you can imagine and his wife Jenny had been very helpful organising the trip for me. It has truly been an amazing experience, thanks very much guys !

We have three kids aged 10, 9, and 5. We had three adults so all kids kayaked tandem with an adult. We went on the winter manatee tour and were blown away! Kenny was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going! He was a great guide, teacher and new Florida friend!We experienced gators in the wild, magnificent bird viewings... Numerous! Enjoyed great blue herons nesting, vultures eating a meal!!. Gators sunning... We began to wonder if Kenny had somehow managed to strategically and perfectly place these wild animals! Haha! It was too perfect. But the real icing on the cake was the manatees!!Wow! We experienced 6-8 passing under and around our kayaks! One was even so curious as to hang around and sniff each boat...! Are you kidding me? We wee Iowa folk were blown away! Absolutely astounding!We will be back for more for sure!

This was my second trip with Central Florida nature adventures, Jenny was really helpful organising our day out and we had a fantastic trip. So much wildlife to see, such a beautiful river and we couldn't believe we were kayaking with manatees, alligators and turtles. Well definitely be back, thanks guys.

We had the privilege of paddling the Silver River with Kenny on New Year's day. What a great way to start the new year! Kenny and his wife, Jenny, run an extremely professional business. Jenny handles the bookings and was an absolute joy on the phone. She is friendly, courteous and accommodating and provides outstanding customer service. Kenny, who leads the tours, is knowledgeable, experienced, entertaining and makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Kenny and Jenny provide all equipment (excellent kayaks and paddles) plus a few extras: coolers for each person's lunch, plenty of bottled water, bug repellent, sun block and even extra hats and sweatshirts if you need them. The tours are very fairly priced and well worth the money. Please don't pass up the opportunity to go on one--or more--of Kenny and Jen's tours. It will be an experience you will cherish. My husband and I travel to Florida from New York several times a year, and will absolutely book another tour on our next visit. Thanks again, Kenny and Jen!

We had a wonderful and relaxing kayak tour of the Wekiva River with Kenny. Lots of birds and turtles to see and beautiful scenery. It's a terrific way to spend a day in bustling Orlando so that you get in touch with quiet and peacefulness in the unspoiled outdoors.

Kenny and Jenny Boyd are the best in Central Florida. Kenny really knows the local flora and fauna, terrific birder. Jenny makes sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend to go with them if you want to see the real Florida

This was my first kayaking experience, and it was terrific. Kenny and Jen were both so helpful and nice. They are wonderful people. Kenny was very helpful in teaching me how to kayak and I felt very comfortable with his guidance. He knows his plants and birds. I am looking forward to another trip with them. I highly recommend doing a tour with them.
