Gary was really patient with us and did his best to give us a tour and show us some manatees. I’m really grateful for the opportunity of having him as our tour guide.
We saw 4 manatees with Gary, he was was a great tour guide!
Gary was an amazing tour guide and very informative.
Gary was amazing and insightful and we saw 2 mentees, it was fun and relaxing
Great trip, lots to see and enjoy with minimal kayaking required…the flow of the river takes you for most of the way. Saw a manatee, plenty of fish and birds…great way to while a way some time
it was fun our tour guide was gary, unfortunately we did not see a manatee byt it was fun
Val was amazing! Learned a lot about the wild life and manatee protection! Val also gave great recommendations for local food and stuff to do in the area. We had a great time!
Aaron was a great guide! Thank you for the tour and I hope to see you down in texas one day!
Had an amazing time definitely Would recommend to others. Tour guide really knew a lot about the area
Had a great kayak experience! This was a first for me to go kayaking and the guide, Val, was very friendly and informative. She knew a lot about the history, geography and wildlife. I felt safe the entire time. She made sure to point out a manatee so we could all see. The price was great for a length of 2 hours. We had to get pushed back due weather but it made it for a very peaceful trip as it was not crowded at all! Definitely recommend going! Thank you for the fun experience!
We had Jodi as our guide and she was amazing! Let us take our time and never made us feel rushed. We got to see 5 manatees which is more than we were even hoping for! We got to see a family of 3 manatees really well. We saw a ton of different birds, turtles, fish, crabs, and otter. Jodi was so friendly and knowledgeable. She took the time to point out a ton of different trees, animals, and flowers that you don’t see often if you aren’t from Florida. I would book anything that Jodi is the guide for! My daughter loved it!
Great trip. Jodi did a fantastic job. We saw a couple of Manatees and very relaxed trip.
We loved the tour!! Jodie was the best. Best part was the manatees!
My son and I had a great outing with Clear Kayak Tours in Weeki Wachee. Our guide Erin was outstanding - very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. We saw about 12 manatee in our 2 hour or so trip including a pack of five together with two babies, and a separate mother and baby that swam right along with us for a while. It's a beautiful area in nature and I would highly recommend this tour and Erin if you can get him.
Aaron was an outstanding guide today. We enjoyed him sharing his knowledge about the various mangroves, Herons and seeing how he picked up litter in the water ways. Although we didn't have the opportunity to see any manatees we saw several dolphin! We hope to return in the future for the night time tour.
Gary was amazing tour guide. He helped us navigate the channels and even tho we didn’t see any manatees because it was off season it was amazing. He also shared amazing photos with us!!
Our guide Gary was wonderful and he did such a good job explaining everything. We managed to see a manatee in the beginning of the trip and it was so much fun!
Brianna is an incredible kayak tour guide! Her passion for protecting the environment and educating others about the impact of human activity on local wildlife shines through. During our two-hour tour, we learned so much about the incredible ecosystem of the Weeki Wachee River and the fascinating creatures that call it home. Brianna is warm, personable, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her expertise in ecology and river life is truly impressive, and she shared information in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. One of the highlights of our tour was encountering a family of manatees, and Brianna went above and beyond by capturing beautiful videos for us to remember the experience. If you’re looking for a memorable, educational, and enjoyable adventure on the Weeki Wachee, Brianna is the guide you want. She made our experience unforgettable, and we left with a deeper appreciation for this amazing natural treasure Also, the booking process is super easy and we received thorough instructions on where to park, what to bring, etc. Safety is a key theme and we felt very secure and safe from start to finish.
We get to see all the natural of the rivers
We had a wonderful time exploring the Weeki Wachee River with our fantastic and knowledgeable guide, Bre💕 highly recommend booking a clear kayak tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a great time with Gary. We ended up seeing 2 manatees. Thanks for the tour.
Our experience was mixed. When we first arrived, our guide shared that we would not be seeing the clear water until we ventured to the actual Weeki Watchi river. We were disappointed to learn that we'd be kayaking for a good 15 minutes before reaching the clear water. Not exactly what was advertised. Same holds true for the return trip, the last 15 minutes was in water that was murky. So from a 2-hr tour, 30 minutes was in water you couldn't see anything. Fortunately, we did end up seeing 11 manatees, which was wonderful. Our guide, Val, was good to point out things and tell us lots of trivia. She was super sweet and friendly. The only negative was her asking us to give her a good review and saying not to give one if we didn't have a good time. That's actually quite unprofessional. And not really transparent by the company. They send you an email and a text with a link to write a review of a good experience, but a separate link if you didn't have a good time. Hence, their reviews are stacked to the positive. In addition, she said she would send us pictures she'd taken of our trip. I increased her tip because that was of value to me. It's been over a week and we still don't have the pictures. I would not rebook with this company again.
Jodi was awesome a guide , well worth it. Manatee was right beside us right off the bat
Valentine (Val) was super friendly and energetic. She really made the experience a good time with all the informative cool facts she shared. Also, took nice photos for us. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any manatees. However, Val still made this experience worth while and shared good ideas for things to do for tourists in the area.
Our guide, Raven, was amazing! She was great to spot wildlife for us to see at every turn. We saw 3 manatee in one area and a sweet mama manatee w/ her baby in another. We saw pileated woodpeckers, hawks, osprey, and barracuda. What a FUN day! Weeki Wachee river is beautiful! Again, thankful for Raven, having such a great guide makes the difference!!
Raven was awesome. Fun and informative.
Aaron was an awesome guide and was soo friendly and knowledgeable. We saw multiple manatees. It was an awesome experience. Highly recommend. Very fun!!!
This was an amazing tour! We saw 3 huge Manatee and a baby! Aaron was so knowledgeable and kind to take photos of our trip photos. He was kind and personable. Definitely would recommend!
We had such a fun time on the clear kayak tour with Aaron. We saw multiple manatees. And were able to kayak at our speed. So much fun!! Beutiful sunset!
Excellent tour w/Jodi! Saw two manatees! Flora and Fauna of all types and species. We loved the calm and beautiful tour.
Informative & fun tour with Gary even though we didn’t see a manatee we highly recommend!!
Gary manatees excellent tour fun & very knowledgeable about the history & surroundings
Ashley was an amazing guide. She was kind, very knowledgeable and found the manatees for us. Seeing a momma manatee with twins and a juvenile was such a treat!
It was a wonderful tour with Ashley! We saw blue heron, manatees (including a mom and two babies), and got great education on the biology of the area. 10/10 would recommend.
Ashley was incredible and such a wealth of information. We had just a beautiful day seeing the manatees!!!
We had such an amazing time kayaking with our guide Jodi. Within the first 5 minutes we saw a juvenile manatee who was very curious and was pushing our boats around. It was an absolutely amazing experience and Jodi was incredibly knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife.
Wonderful experience and tour guide! Manatees within the first 15 minutes unreal. Beautiful clear water couldn’t be happier definitely worth the book and memories. Jodi was amazing!
Ashley was fantastic! We saw manatees throughout the tour and we were able to see a very young baby manatee as well!
Ashley was excellent and so sweet. She talked about the different species and habitat and was very patient with us as well.
This was so fun! Val was a great guide! Super friendly and had lot of cool information to share! We also saw a manatee!! :)
Val turned our tour into an unforgettable experience. Her knowledge of the history of Weeki Wachee and the wildlife was impressive, and her upbeat personality made the whole tour even more enjoyable.
Exceeded expectations! Jodi was a fantastic guide, her wealth of knowledge of the wildlife & area itself was worth the tour alone.. we were lucky enough to see MANY manatees! What a fun time!! Loved the clear bottom kayak, so neat to see what’s going on under there
It was an amazing experience. We saw lots of birds, fish, and manatees. Jodi explained everything well, was very patient and calm. She pointed out all the wildlife and told us many interesting facts. She also took photos of us during the tour, so we could focus on the mesmerizing ambience. I'd do it again.
Had a blast with Jodi and saw a TON of manatees!! Would do this again with Jodi!
Great time on the water - but no alcohol allowed, couldn't swim and was crowded on a Saturday. I recommend going feb or march to see more Manatees, and possibly a week day or Sunday. Overall though I'm glad we went
Very friendly and our guide Val was knowledgeable with history of the area. Really had a great time.
Jodi was a wonderful guide! Super informative. We were able to see a handful of manatees with her keen eye!
This tour was SO well worth the money and our tour guide, Raven, absolutely made our trip! She was personable, very knowledgeable, great at spotting wildlife (we saw so many awesome things!), and took videos to send us so we could stay in the moment. We felt like she fit right into our group as one of us and truly had an exceptional time!
What an amazing experience! We saw so many things including an otter and a dolphin! Our tour guide Raven was fantastic! She was a blast and so knowledgeable!
