Nice morning - Zoe was great. Knowledgeable and friendly. Go when it is sunny though … you’ll see more gators that way. Bonus… no need for bug spray. Bugs don’t like the tannins in the water!

Beautiful ride and good exercise - Guide, 'Draven' was helpful, an excellent guide; He really knew the territory. He was also a great teacher of kayak technique. Pretty important for a 77 year old first timer Would recommend the service and would do it again Was a beautiful ride

Haunted Halloween Paddle - Great adventure with some pleasant/knowledgeable guides and fun folks. It was a full moon Banjo player and some of the home owners decorated their docks and were passing out treats and libations. Paddle Jax is a great source for your paddling adventures.

Fun on the Bayou! - My husband and I had a great experience on the 2-hour guided kayak eco tour. We chose this company due to the great seats with back support. Flo was a great tour guide and had a bunch of fun stories. We loved that she took complimentary photos of us that were later emailed. I was concerned about the cottonmouth snake going across the top of the water, but Flo was very knowledgeable and kept us all back until it crossed. I was really glad we did not encounter "Big Mama" the 13' gator! Overall, we enjoyed kayaking on what looked like a bayou!

A Nice Outing - Desired More Info! - This was a good kayak excursion. Zoe, our tour guide was friendly, engaging, and helped us to navigate Lofton Creek safely. We had hoped that we might get more in-depth information about the ecology of the area. The write up states that tour information is curated by a University of Florida Advanced Master Naturalist Guide. The Advanced Master Naturalist certification is given to those who complete 3 community education courses given by the University of Florida. I would have thought more scientific information could have been given during our tour. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with nice pictures provided, just needed a little more detailed ecological information!
