Renting kayaks here was a lovely experience. The fee was very affordable to rent a canoe and there was no time limit on how long we could stay out on the river (as long as we got back before dark). This part of the river was not busy at all and was very relaxing and beautiful. We also enjoyed that the kayak rental place had very sweet cats running around that wanted to get some pets from the customers. We will be sure to come back in the future :)

This place is AWESOME! 🤩 Nicest and knowledgeable lady who runs it is amazing! She truly finds her joy in helping folks fall in love with canoeing 🛶 and the Alifia River! The canoe trip is yours for the length or direction. No time limit, no map 🗺. Just get in and paddle! 🙌🏼😊 Found sharks 🦈 teeth on a little beach spot, saw beautiful scenery and a gator 🐊 or 2. Our journey took us through some super fun obstacles and we met some really awesome people! 💯 Can’t beat the price either! 💵 Highly recommend taking the time to experience this adventure! 🙃👍🏼

Is it still $25 for a kayak rental?? And if we go up stream we can turn around and come back down to the place we took off from right?? We have no one that could pick us up. Thinking of going today.

Melinda Gilbert | Aug 5, 2022
Casandra Johnston | Aug 5, 2022

It is 15 for the kayak rental per kayak. You can go whichever direction you want, though I find going upstream first is the best way to go about it so you can have a nice ride back down.

Is there a charge if you have your own kyack, how much

Sally Simonds | May 28, 2022
Joseph Turner | May 28, 2022

I don't think she would charge you but there may be a small lauch fee. We park there and drive back to 39 to kayak down and she doesn't charge to park but we always give her a donation as she is running a business.

If we rent a kayak there can we take off from this location or do you have to take it with you and find a place to take off from?

Gary Myers | May 28, 2022
Gabriela Raimander PA | May 28, 2022

They have a dock that you can use, no need to take it anywhere. We went upstream as there is no shuttle service back, going downstream. Know that there are some tiny rapids and shoals that may present a little challenge. :) Also, they mostly rent canoes, very limited supply of kayaks. Best to call ahead.

What is the minimum age for a person to be able to rent his or her own kayak?

New to Florida’s waterways - Should I be concerned about alligators in the stretch of the river?

Rebecca Janes | Aug 27, 2019
Charles Campbell | Aug 27, 2019

There's alligators in here , I heard that people have been known to see a few smaller ones, but only concern would be if you purposely tried to run up on one because you want a picture or just a close view. There are just as scared as you are of them, but corner one and they will definitely defend themselves.

Does this place offer a shuttle service to transport canoes back upstream?

Tito Joya | Aug 27, 2018
Michelle Doll | Aug 27, 2018

Sorta. They take you upstream, drop you off, then you paddle back using the current to help you. Paddling upstream can be done, but it's hard unless you have a lot of experience. And darn near impossible if there has been a lot of rain.

We have are own boat ,but could you take us up n drop off us ?

John Stewart | Aug 27, 2018
James H | Aug 27, 2018

They charge a fee but you can take your own boat
