Our tour guide, Shaggy, was terrific. Lots to see and learn. Bring a cushion for the seat and wear something so you can get wet to fully enjoy the experience. Water birds, manatee, pelicans and more. Highly recommend.

Great experience! Saw so many birds, fish, and manatees. Shaggy understood our group and adjusted perfectly to find us a perfect kayak tour. Got to swim, see wildlife and learn so much about the area and local wildlife. Thank you!

Had a great experience on the Chaz! Our guide Mitch was very personable and a terrific guide. He allowed us to paddle at our own pace along the 4-5 mile trip. The first part of the trip was through the canals then on to the Chaz for a while then going back into the nooks and narrows where we saw manatees and an alligator. The springs and water were really beautiful. We really enjoyed getting out of the kayaks to wade up to The “Crack” a local hidden gem of a place. Upon return to we got an unexpected surprise and saw several manatees just hanging out right where had launched. What a great way to end our perfect day on the Chaz!
Side tip… take some beach towels to pad your seats. You’ll be a little more comfortable.

Our guide Connor was very informative and helpful. We took our time and were able to watch the wildlife along the way and take photos. The Springs were refreshing on a hot day. Connor gave us a lunch suggestion too which turned out to be a great local spot to eat. Awesome trip and great guide!

Amazing experience with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Equipment was in great condition and our guide led us to some of the prettiest spots around. We were lucky enough to experience lots of wildlife, including a pod of manatee. Definitely recommend this company, ask for Mitch.

This trip was breathtaking! We went on an overcast 68 degree day. I knew nothing about the Chaz and the amazing wildlife that it had to offer. It felt like you were paddling through Jurassic park! Our tour guide Shaggy, was very personable and went out of his way to make sure that everyone had an excellent time! You will not regret this trip, I will be coming back here again!

We had a great tour with Hunter, he was informative, helpful and fun. So many things I didn’t know I didn’t know about manatees. Such lovely wildlife and the water is so clear, we really appreciated our clear kayaks!
On a side note, I have slight mobility issues and Hunter was so kind and supportive, he made this trip perfectly accessible to me.

My wife and I brought 5 kids to clear kayak the Chaz. Ages ranging from 10-17. Our tour guide Ryan handled them all extremely well. He was patient and very thorough, even during a busy holiday weekend. He shared a ton of knowledge and history about the area. We spotted manatees and gators while on the trip. Ask for Ryan if you take a trip. You won’t be disappointed.

We had a great guide, Shade. He saw that we had some slower kayakers in our group and let those who could navigate better to go ahead and stayed with the slower group with small children. He made sure we got to the springs and caught us when we were coming back. The Springs was crowed but still crystal clear! Amazing Time!

Ryan was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. His is personable and so thoughtful! Took his time and allowed the day to go so smoothly. And for my momma heart he encouraged and watched over our girl going through the caves. We would definitely use Get Up and Go again and wouldn’t mind having Ryan again.
