"Neither my husband or i had been kayaking before, but decided we would book a Tues am tour and bring our young children. We paid $100 total to rent two kayaks, and have Steve show us around for two hours. He is very knowledgeable about the area, wildlife and plants. Our girls really did fantastic in the kayaks and it was such a great experience! So much so that we may even buy kayaks of our own back home. Thank you again for having us and for taking some photos we already cherish ❤️"

"What a great experience! My son and I met Steve this morning and he helped us launch our kayaks in the Peace River. We had a perfect day and I highly recommend renting from Steve. The service was second to none."
-Will Eaton
"Steve was awesome. We just did the rental. I'm sure the tour would be cool if you're not adventurous or if you have kids but rentals was the right choice for us. I really appreciated how relaxed it was. Price was super reasonable at $50 for a tandem. Easy enough to find your way."
-Tucker Zimmerman
"Steve is very knowledgeable about the area, plants and animals. This tour is always a good time as you won’t see the same thing twice and Steve has great stories about the history of area as well! I highly recommend!"

"Went with some friends for a swamp alligator guided tour today. Steve the owner was our guide . He is so knowledgeable ! we learned much about plants and wildlife, including the alligators we saw. This is my second time taking this tour and my friends first time. A day of great memories once again. His kayaks has nice extra padded seats and were very comfortable . Had a great time ! Highly recommend ."

"Always a fantastic outing with Steve and Kayak Eco Tours! Our group if 13 had a wonderful paddle on the Peace River thru an idyllic stretch filled with giant ferns, hickories, oaks and cabbage palms. Thanks to Steve and his intimate knowledge of the area our 2-hour trip flew by! We look forward to returning to Old Florida sooner than later!!!!"

"I had a shoulder injury and Steve kindly offered to paddle me in the front of his kayak. It felt so wonderful to experience the Peace River. Afterwards, I realized how leasurely paced and could have done on my own. I really injoyed the couple hours and plan to return next year."
-Lina DeCrescenzo
"Steven was a great guide, he took us to wild and uncrowded places. Even if it's not the best season for this, we had the chance to see alligators and various other animals in this wild and hostile environment for us tourists who know nothing about this nature. I did not suffer from this exercise which over two hours can frighten the less athletic which was quite pleasant to perform. What's more, I found that for once the price of this excursion was reasonable, as much as we can judge the prices charged in this region. Thank you Steve"
