    This peaceful kayaking spot on Shingle Creek offers an idyllic escape into nature surprisingly close to the Disney area. Families rave about the gentle, beginner-friendly waters perfect for first-timers and kids, with gorgeous cypress trees lining the route and plenty of wildlife sightings including turtles and even the occasional alligator. The tours are relaxed rather than strenuous, letting you soak in the scenery and sounds of nature at an easy pace. Guides like Ryan, Josh, and Joshua consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely engaging with guests. They seem to have a real passion for the local ecosystem and wildlife, answering questions and pointing out interesting details that make the experience educational without feeling like a lecture. The staff overall comes across as helpful and laid-back, creating a welcoming atmosphere. One recent review mentioned they may be closing, so it's worth confirming availability before planning your visit.

    Absolutely fantastic gem of a day in an already great holiday. We had over 2 hours kayaking with our two children and the AMAZING Josh as our guide. He had time for every question and was so enthusiastic and engaging. I really recommend that anyone coming to this area check them out. The price for a family of four was so reasonable for the time we had and the memories that we will keep. The tour option was the best for us and I would say that this is such a great, gentle introduction to kayaking that it is suitable for all ages and abilities. If we come to Florida again we would absolutely look to do this again as I imagine every day would bring new things to see.
