Great time on a rainy day. - Great tour, friendly guide, all around great experience. Thanks to Val we had a wonderful tour and it was a rainy day. I think the clear kayaks are the best way to see the river.

Fun to do... also with younger children. - Super nice to sit in a transparent kayak. So you could see what was underwater. Unfortunately no manatees because there are none at this time of year. Our tourgide, Bell, could tell a lot about the area. Very interesting and definitely recommended to do sometime!

Gary was exceptional! - We enjoyed a fabulous kayaking tour through the waters in search of manatees! Gary was super knowledgeable, which made for an interesting time. We spotted bald eagles, several varieties of water birds, different fish and beautiful flowers. No manatees on this trip, but we were a bit late in the season. Gary was gracious enough to take pictures throughout the trip, which he shared with us at the end. Wonderful experience! I highly recommend the Weeki Wachee eco tour!

100% worth it! So much fun! - This is an amazing way to spend a few hours seeing stunning views from a clear kayak. The launching site was a small fishing camp and everyone there was so friendly. Davis was our guide and I can’t say enough good things about him. He made us feel comfortable and safe. He was knowledgeable and fun. He helped us to find wildlife. Spotted a huge bald eagle nest and some fledglings. Just amazing tour! Book it!
