Manatees by Kayak in Weeki Wachee, Florida - We had a fantastic tour with Gary who was a fountain of information on the local flora and fauna. He also found us a spot to have quality up-close and personal time with a few manatees. This is the tour to book in Weeki Wachee and Gary is the guide to lead you. Just do it!

Excellent Tour with an Expert Guide! - My sister and I had an amazing experience on the Weeki Wachee Clear Kayak Ecotour with Davis as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and had a fantastic eye for spotting animals we would have missed on our own. Davis made sure the tour was well-paced and that we were comfortable throughout, which we really appreciated. Considering we were in a river, we had pretty good visibility, even though the water was brackish brown in most areas. The variety of wildlife we saw was incredible—bald eagles, woodpeckers, ibises, cormorants, anhingas, wood storks, herons, jumping mullet, stingrays, blue crabs, scallops, and more. The natural beauty of the surroundings, paired with Davis’s expertise and friendly demeanor, made this an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend taking a tour with him—you won’t be disappointed!

Worst experience - Absolutely bad experience, don’t waste your money. The operator is rude and tend to push problem to you or to the website. Whatever the issue or the problem is you won’t get your money back. They are not will to cooperate with you at all. Worst experience ever. Certainly get a bad day from here. Last day of my vacation is ruined. Plus wasted 180$ and didn’t get to play. I never gave a bad review before, but I have to this time.
