Josh was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable & showed us some beautiful, hidden spots we would have otherwise missed. We met a cute lil Otter searching for lunch in the Eelgrass 🥰 & saw various birds,
turtles & fish.
The turquoise springs are beyond beautiful, pics don’t do it justice! Lastly, the clear kayak is a must! I set my phone face down & hit record, the videos are amazing! We’ll definitely be back soon! Thanks again Josh! 😊

Absolutely amazing morning. Went in the 9am tour and had the river to ourselves and our guide Allie was awesome and very knowledgeable.
The company was amazing, I thought I booked to see manatees and booked the wrong river, they called a few days prior to make sure I didn’t want the other trip they changed it without a problem accommodate the change. 110% recommend the company and trip.

Rainbow springs were awesome! We got to see a bald eagle and swim in warm water in mid December. Aly was great!

Aly with Ecoventure Tour was an amazing guide!! She is very knowledgeable about the history and wildlife of the river.
The pictures on the website are a soft touch to the actual beauty of this river!! You won’t regret your decision to do this excursion. It was so relaxing and refreshing! Getting out of your kayak in the designated swimming holes is highly recommended!! We will definitely do this again on our next visit to Florida. Thank you Aly for being so kind, caring and patient with us!!!

10/10 Highly Recommend! Aly was the best tour guide ever! I loved kayaking in a clear boat so I could see the fish and river grass below.
We saw an otter, tons of neat birds, fishes, and ducks. It was so rad. Aly (our tour guide) was a wealth of information. I learned so much about the natural springs, fauna, fishes and fowl.
If you want a fun adventure, sign up. You'll love the part where you get to walk through the water. I know I did. I even got to help saw through a fallen tree. #instagramworthy
Oh, and Awesome Aly took really good pics for us and shared them free of charge. How cool is that?
