Great day for a Kayak tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was very knowledgeable of the river & area. Very genuine! It was a very relaxing ride. I had never gone Kayaking before so the Lofton Creek tour was very easy to navigate thru. Well worth the time & money spent. I would do it again!

Zoe was a fabulous guide,...

We had a wonderful time kayaking with Paddle Jax Amelia. Everything was included . Our guide was fun and interesting and took lots of photos of us and the scenery throughout the trip.

Nice morning

Published on May, 2024

Zoe was great. Knowledgeable and friendly. Go when it is sunny though … you’ll see more gators that way. Bonus… no need for bug spray. Bugs don’t like the tannins in the water!

Beautiful ride and good exercise

Published on May, 2024

Guide, 'Draven' was helpful, an excellent guide; He really knew the territory. He was also a great teacher of kayak technique. Pretty important for a 77 year old first timer Would recommend the service and would do it again Was a beautiful ride
