Your adventure will begin with a kayak tutorial where we explain the basics of kayaking, and technique, and how to interact with the local wildlife. Then off you go, starting on the King's trail. Here you can see the wild monkeys that live along the shoreline, There are also old relics along the way from Florida's first tourist attraction. As you make your way down the main river, manatees can be seen, and are usually very active. In the winter months, the manatees come to the spring in larger numbers to stay warm in the year-round 72-degree crystal clear water. Along the river, there are sunken ships that you can find with the treasure maps we supply. You will complete your journey at the main spring, which pumps out up to 550 gallons of water per day. Then back to the ramp, where we will help you out of your kayaks. Folks the wildlife here is exactly that...wild. There are no guarantees you will see them. Please be safe and keep your distance.
