A lovely morning on the canals with Katrina who was so knowledgeable and personable. She even called me and offered to do a one-on-one guided tour due to the heat index (as I was originally scheduled for the afternoon). We saw so much wildlife from beautiful birds to turtles and gators! I’ll definitely return!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Karen! It was a pleasure paddling the beautiful Dora Canal with you. I'm so glad we were able to move your tour to the cooler morning hours so you could enjoy the wildlife at its best. From the birds and turtles to the alligators, every trip has something special to offer. Thank you for choosing Adventure Outdoor Paddle for your Florida kayak tour, and we can't wait to welcome you back on the water next time! 😊💦
Very well organized! The tour was beautiful. The canels were truly enchanting. We saw so many birds, turtles and alligators. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gracious about our paddling skills. The kids had a wonderful time. We all really enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌿 We’re thrilled you enjoyed our Wild Florida on the Dora Canal Tour and got to experience all the birds, turtles, and even alligators along the way.
It means so much to hear that your guide made everyone feel comfortable and that the kids had a great time, too! Creating a fun, welcoming, and well-organized experience for all skill levels is exactly what we strive for.
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to paddle with your family again soon! 🛶✨
Katrina, our guide, was so warm and knowledgeable. We did this trip for a Fathers Day gift, and my husband, kids and I loved it. We saw alligators, lots of bird life and turtles, as well as eagle nests pointed out by Katrina. It was so beautiful to explore natural Florida, and Bru after was the perfect place to experience the local town of Tavares. We felt so welcomed and the beer samples were delicious, we even bought some to take home.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It sounds like you had an amazing time exploring the natural beauty of Florida and spotting the local wildlife. We're glad you enjoyed the visit to Bru afterward as well—it’s great to hear you felt welcomed and enjoyed the local beer samples! We hope to see you and your family again for another adventure on the water!
Katrina was very knowledgeable of the ecosystem, the history of the canal, and the local wildlife!!! Saw numerous birds, alligators and beautiful lake Dora!!! The paddle up and down the canal was very nice and easy to navigate even with boats passing through. The Bru Pub after the paddle was a great touch and nice way to remember the day!!! Go see Katrina, highly recommended!!
