Seeing the nature and enjoying the time with my family. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided some facts about the plants we were seeing as well as some of the sites up the river. He was also helpful in guiding us, and he was very laid back, which was great.

Madeline was the best guide ever! Made the experience very simple, safe, and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and try again!
This is a nice float just be aware coming back. You have to paddle upstream, but wasn't too bad. Had two tour guides that were wonderful very knowledgeable and very friendly.
Tour guide was great! Moderate level of exertion. Take plenty of water. Get there early for orientation
Special thanks to CJ and AJ. They provided an exceptional experience. They were so patient and pointed out stuff that I wasn’t aware of before. This was my first time kayaking and it was an amazing experience.
Great tour guide very knowledgeable of the waterways and the abundance of wildlife and native plants. A great steward of the Florida waterways.
CJ and Jessica were awesome and very knowledgeable about the area, vegetation, wildlife and history. What a great experience- we will be back!
This was the most amazing kayak experience ever! Madeline and Rob are wonderful teachers and guides. The Lofton Creek area was like being in the bayou. It was beautiful and just and overall wonderful experience. The equipment was in great condition. No problems from booking to finish.
Our guide was awesome! He took us on a lovely tour and we even got to see a 14 foot alligator! His knowledge of the area and wildlife really added to the experience.
Had a great time paddling down this lazy waterway and noticing all the nature around us. Our guide made sure to point out the yellow-bellied turtles and baby gator (!) and shared fun facts about the ecosystem. It seems if you come in spring it could be extra magical with blooming wisteria. It was a little windy on the way back but definitely still doable. It's such a nice bonus that you get the photos from the tour sent to you afterwards.
Easy, picturesque and highly enjoyable! Our guide had been kayaking his whole life and quickly adjusted for beginners to more advanced. Lots of knowledgeable nature and native animal tidbits as you stroll down the river. Do you know where the saying “money grows on trees” is from? I do now, after this ride!
The scenic, relaxing creek was wonderful, but the guides really made the trip outstanding: knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun!
I had an excellent experience our guide( can't remember his name) was funny knowledgeable and just the type of person that loves what he does. We got the opportunity to see two alligators, old train track.The train passed by us. But we did get caught in these. Weeds, but that probably was the best part cause we all chipped in and helped each other, and it's added a little adventure to the trip. I plan to go back down to Jacksonville. This summer, and I would definitely do another excursion with this company..
Lovely scenery, great guide. Relatively easy kayaking on calm black water with beautiful reflections.
The views are stunning!! It was unlike any kayaking we had ever done because of the trees and birds. Just beautiful! Our guide Jessica was full of history, fun facts and great knowledge of all the surrounding animals and flora.
Amazing tour with Madeline and Rob. They were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and nature. Would definitely do it again!
What a fun trip down a lazy river!! The 2 instructors were great very helpful and right there with you. A small group made the trip just perfect!
Very relaxing experience, lots of great info shared about the area. Perfect for beginners and anyone looking for a way to spend time on the water.
Super chill! Easy even for beginners. Our guides Zach and Corey were amazing. We just had the best time. Bonus was the 8’ alligator that we saw up close and personal. Just what we wanted to see. Felt completely safe and we were.
Madeline and Rob were awesome Kayak instructors. It was my first time kayaking. They were patient, kind, and allowed the learning process to manifest. I was kayaking like a pro by the time I reached the finish line. Great job and beautiful sites/scenery.
Enjoyed this kayak tour! Didn't see much in the way of wildlife, but the river and surroundings are beautiful! Tour guides were very knowledgeable!
Easy and fun paddle down Lofton Creek. It was peaceful and beautiful. We saw turtles, small crocks, fish and birdlife.
Madeline and Rob were wonderful! They were very professional and prompt, gave great directions to find the starting spot, they had all the equipment clean and ready to go, etc.
We had a great morning on the kayak tour. Corey and Rob were wonderful guides who pointed out plants and animals along the route. We were able to go at our own pace and did not feel rushed.
It was an excellent way to escape electronics and craziness of daily life. My daughter and I enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of this tour.
Fun activity on our trip to Amelia Island. It was great to see the natural wild part of Florida. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else.
Overall a great guide and good tour. The guide took plenty of photos but very few were posted on the website. In fact there were no photos of my family on the website to download. I’m very disappointed in that. I did not take photos as the guide said they would all be posted for us.
No experience needed, nice easy trip. Our guide Corey was so nice and had lots of interesting information about the area .
bring sun screen and water is very recommended, the guide very knowledgeable about the area and history thanks again cory
Tour guide very educational and attentive and friendly. We were running late and they were very understanding and waited.
Great guides, great kayaking. Everything was really nice. We saw an alligator. Worth it rain or shine
