Kayaking on Lofton Creek - This was a really fun morning experience on Amelia Island. Our guide, TJ, was great in telling about the flora and wildlife on and around the water. His pace was so that we could all hear and keep up with him. We did see numerous gators (smallish sizes) and birds. Safe easy pace for beginners and teens.

Wonderful guide and great river! Memories made today! - We had a wonderful paddle on Lofton Creek. I had my three kids with me and CJ made it possible for us all to go and enjoy the time together! The river was peaceful and very enjoyable to be on. It was easy to do for my kids and myself. My kids are 10, 8 and 6 and this will be a lasting memory for them. Thanks again CJ for making this day so special!

A good experience on a brackish creek in Florida. - There were a few gators of smaller size. My wife saw a momentary rise of a manatee snout as it took a quick breath, but everyone could see the ripples as it moved under the surface. I thought that my arms would be more sore from paddling the kayak, but they were fine. It would be a good learning experience if you have not paddled a kayak as the water is calm and it is an easy route. The guides imparted interesting information about the fora and fauna and some focused history of Fernandina Beach and Jacksonville. Well worth the money IMHO.

Kayak Adventure on Amelia Island - Our tour guides were Madeleine and Robert. They carefully fitted us in our lifejackets. And they competently helped us into and out of the kayaks. Madeleine was an informative guide during our journey into the marsh land and swamp land. She explained the trees and the plants that we passed and talked about the animals that inhabited the land and lived in the water. Very deserving of high marks.
