View on Google MapsAmazing kayak experience with the manatees! Granted, we had perfect weather so were fortunate in that respect. Aaron was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much about the wildlife, and as a bonus, sent us beautiful photos afterward that captured the day. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable adventure on the water!
Our guide was so patient and fun. We arrived late and he still waited and made our experience awesome. We were able to see tons of manatees and alligators.
Aaron was a knowledgeable guide. Always keeping us engaged in tour. We were able to see several manatees and gators.

Aaron was a great guide showing us around the river. Kayaking was very easy and he brought us to see the different wildlife including manatees. Great location as we did not have to pay an admission fee to enter park and met him right at the river. Was about two hours overall, bring your own snacks.
Great guided tour! The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. River is a beautiful ecosystem, and it was a privilege to explore it.
We had a great experience with AWA Kayak Tours from start to finish. Aaron and his team member (I’m sorry, I forgot the name) guided us on the tour. We saw wildlife and also learned a lot about the animals we encountered during the trip. Overall, it was a truly amazing experience. Getting there was easy, and Aaron reached out to us as soon as we booked the tickets, which made everything much smoother. I would definitely give them 5 stars!
We were able to book this kayak tour last minute (less than 2 hours before), which was amazing since we were looking for something fun to do our last day in Florida. Aaron was a fantastic guide—super friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. He made sure we felt comfortable the whole time (and even stayed between us and the big gators 😂). The manatees were incredibly friendly and curious. It’s wild to have these giant sea potatoes gliding right underneath your kayak. We even had a mama and her baby hanging around us for a while, which was unforgettable. Aaron texted all the instructions ahead of time, making everything easy and stress-free, and he also took photos and videos and shared them via a link the same day so we could just be present and enjoy the experience. 11/10 would recommend both the experience and Aaron!
Aaron was a wonderful guide. I was a single and he could have easily cancelled but went out of his way to take me on a beautiful paddle trip. Very knowledgeable about all the wildlife, saw many manatees, bald eagle, alligator, and lots of bird species. Also sent pictures of our trip. Highly recommend any of his tours.
We recently took the Guided Kayaking Manatee Tour near Orlando booked through Viator, and it was truly a fantastic experience, thanks entirely to our guide, Aaron. From the moment we booked, Aaron was proactive and professional. He contacted us right away, providing incredibly precise instructions on everything—from what essential items to bring to exactly how to find him upon arrival. This excellent pre-tour organization eliminated any stress and allowed us to focus purely on the excitement of the trip. Aaron deliberately keeps his tours small, typically capping them at six people. This intimate group size is a huge advantage. It allows him to fully assess the skill and experience level of each individual kayaker, ensuring that the entire trip is both safe and exceptionally fun. We felt completely cared for and appreciated the personalized attention. If you are looking for a highly organized, safe, and personal experience getting up close with manatees near Orlando, we highly recommend booking with Aaron. It’s the perfect blend of wildlife adventure and expert guidance.
We had a great trip with Aaron! His communication beforehand was excellent too. He was super friendly and knowledgeable, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking a tour with him!
