Had an absolutely amazing time on the Eco tour. Ray was a great guide and very easy to get along with. It was truly spectacular and felt like a scene from Jurassic park. Amazing something so wild is so close to everything. I would definitely recommend this tour for all ages.

All the staff were super professional and helpful. Eco tour guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable in the river basin history and the wildlife and ecosystem. The tour accommodates novice kayakers as well as those of us more experienced. Saw all kinds of biological beauty.

We did the 2 hour eco tour at 1 pm with Ray. Really relaxed and fun in beautiful scenery. Ray was gregarious as heck; knowledgeable and chill. The staff was also nice and gave us water boxes for phones on the tour and free waters. Clearly he has done this tour many times but has the skill to make it feel fresh and special for a new group. Even though we went on the more difficult route it was a good experience for beginners. Really recommend as an alternative activity to the theme parks. And definitely meet the snake 🐍. Make sure to show up on time for your tour!

Great prices on kayak rentals for the river here. Awesome sights to see, with decent trails for casual hiking nearby the park. Friendly and helpful staff.
