Great experience of the "Real Florida!" - "A perfect place to go kayaking," is what my sister-in-law had to say. Beautiful winding Creek with lots of turtles and an occasional small alligator. Chris was a wonderful guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We paddled against a slight current going out and then enjoyed the lazy river effect coming back.

One of my favorite kayaking experiences! - Fabulous experience (and I've kayaked a lot). This excursion was very well organized and a good deal for the cost. Our guide, Zoe, was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. We received a confirmation after booking and a text shortly before arrival. The kayak had the most supportive seat/back I've ever used, and paddles had cushioned grip. As promised, each participant received a bottle of water. The launch spot had a bathroom (with toilet paper). I loved that our guide also took photos and videos of us and our surroundings as we went along, and the summary video was an awesome bonus. Highly recommend!!!

Great day for a Kayak tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable of the river & area. Very genuine! It was a very relaxing ride. I had never gone Kayaking before so the Lofton Creek tour was very easy to navigate thru. Well worth the time & money spent. I would do it again!

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
