St. Johns River

Come join me on the lower Wekiva River, where we will see Florida at its most natural. In this ecosystem we will see flora and possibly wildlife including birds, turtles, otters, deer, and maybe an alligator. This river is part of the St. Johns River which is the largest river in Florida so we do have a possibility of seeing the occasional manatee also. We take a 1 hour journey up stream pointing out all the exciting nature we see along the way and then return back to the launch location.

Our guide Aaron was very informative about the history of the lake and area. On the two hour tour he pointed out by name the birds, animals, and flora. You could truly enjoy the whole experience and stay in the moment. We didn't even have to stop and take photos, Aaron took care of it all. It's a must, if your in the area!

I did this tour in the morning before a business conference. Aaron was very knowledge about all the different birds and wildlife and gave good directions on how to steer the kayak as well. He adjusted his pace appropriately. He also took pictures and sent them to me so I did not need to worry about pulling out my phone (and possibly dropping it in the water).

Aaron took my husband and I out on the wildlife tour. Being a novice and very anxious, Aaron was so patient and kind with me. He was able to get me comfortable on the water in no time. He was extremely knowledgeable about about the area and all it’s inhabitants! We had a fabulous time and I highly recommend AWA Kayak tours and Aaron.
