Review of Weeki Wachee clear kayak tours, with wildlife sightings, pricing, paddling effort, guide tips, and booking advice.
“Our guide Davis was amazing! Even though the route he had planned for us wasn't passable he was able to quickly get us going down a secondary path. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. Even if he couldn't plan it we still saw an amazing variety of wildlife including a Bald Eagle and a family of manatees. At one point he had to get out and help us get through a tight area and never once complained. This wasn't an experience me or my daughter will ever forget!”
