“Being a snowbird this is a must do every year. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment is nice not to mention a dock and rail system for easy in and out of the boats. Variety of wildlife including manatee… Thank you CGT for another perfect experience!”

“We have been return customers for many years now and the reason is they make it so easy for older folks to get in and out of the kayaks. We love the Imperial River and all it has to offer…birds, turtles, manatees. It’s all so relaxing and calm.”

“Such a fun kayaking experience. The river is absolutely beautiful, easy to kayak, and tons of wildlife to see. Nick and Aaron were amazing and super helpful. Answered questions prior to booking and then when we checked in. 10/10 recommend.”
