What is not to love about it… - Making online reservations and signing waivers helps streamline the process, making it smoother and quicker. The facility is well-staffed, with friendly and helpful assistance. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made for a relaxing adventure. You can kayak at your own pace while enjoying the beauty of nature. The park and its amenities are well maintained. Definitely worth the three-and-a-half-hour drive.

Good host and well organized - Nice trip. Joe was a good host. He texted after reservation, and was helpful in all aspects of launch/landing. Strongly recommend, skip Disney for this experience.

A great trip if you stay away from the clear kayaks - The springs are great to see this way, from the kayaks, but I do not recommend the clear ones. I took part of my family in the Clear kayaks in June and saw lots of monkeys, otters, haters, and birds, I had to fight to sit up in the flexible seating, with nothing to even stabilize it with my feet, as everything is smooth. And you really never need to see through it, as the edge is there with you. I had real back and neck pain from this experience. So when I went back this week with another part of my family, I rented the double normal kayaks. These have the solid seat backs and ridges to stabilize your body when you need to. They were very comfortable. Unfortunately we did not see monkeys or otters this week, but did see three gators, lots of birds, and two manatees. The first time the checkin was confusing, as you need to pay the park entrance fee (or with the boat launch fees) directly to the park, in addition to what you paid on line. ($2 each, plus $4 per kayak) It's a great trip, just not in the clear kayaks.
