Awesome private guided tour with Jupiter Outdoor Center! - Candace was our guide and it was just great from the start. It was my family’s first time kayaking and she was patient , gave us a pre lesson and was awesome for the duration of the river tour. Sje did not rush us at all!! The river and environment itself was just beautiful. Candice shared knowledge of the river and its history which was cool. It was just a very neat change of pace family day on the river . My kids already asked when can we do that again and can we please buy kayaks !! Lol oh and I should mention Amanda was great in getting us booked for this tour- Amanda and Candace are just great!

Well Worth Doing - Relaxed, fun and informative kayak outing with Matt as our guide. Well worth doing. Drive up, you’re on the water within 15 minutes. Beautiful Cypress- lined, narrow river with an interesting history. Matt was upbeat and knowledgeable.

Excellent tour - highly recommended! - What a fantastic tour! Great scenery, lots of wildlife (alligators, owls and turtles) and a wonderful tour guide (Matthew) who was so knowledgeable about the history of the area and animals seen from our kayaks. We’ve done several other kayak tours in Florida but this one was superior, in large part thanks to Matthew! Highly recommended if you’re in the Jupiter area - and a good value for the money.

Great Tour - We had a wonderful tour with Wild & Scenic Loxahatchee River Tours. Donna, our guide, was a pro and led us up and back the river with no problems. She showed us wildlife (gators and gator babies) and told us interesting facts the entire way. We loved every minute.
