There is limited parking at the end of the road, so please arrive early for your rental. You may need to park in the big parking lot by the Cultural and Natural History Center and walk 5-10 minutes down the road. Please be sure to bring everything you will need for your rental (including a cellphone to have on the water with you).

We had a fantastic experience. Our guide Jake was knowledgeable about marine life. This was my wife and my daughter's first time kayaking and they enjoyed the experience. We will definitely come back when we're in Florida again.

We had a fantastic experience from A to Z: the welcoming, organization, the tour itself, and mostly our guide Natasha were great. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She got plenty of photos for us and caught the dolphins jumping around my husband's kayak: magic!! Thanks, team!

We have lived in the area for 15 years and have never been to Weedon Preserve... We had a great time kayaking through the mangrove tunnels. Very unique experience. We took the tour as we had never been there and really never kayaked before. Natasha was a great guide and was very enthusiastic and accommodating. We definitely could sense the passion she had for nature and her job. We'll be back to the Preserve to not only walk the boardwalks but rent from ECOmersion.

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The kayaks are in good condition and well maintained. Employees were washing them down as we were leaving. The kayaking was a great experience. We kayaked with out 2 daughters (age 13 and 15) and everyone had a great time. The mangrove trail was a amazing and we even saw a group of 3 manatees.

Located in Weedon Island Preserve, they rent paddle boards & kayaks. All of the equipment is maintained well and the staff were very friendly! They give you a map of the preserve so you don’t get lost... I enjoyed my time and suggest 2 hours as 1 hour definitely wasn’t long enough!

Our kayaking adventure was one for the books. Upon arrival the staff were so attentive and helpful. From helping us in and out of the kayak to explaining how to navigate through the mangroves. The entire team is so nice and patient. Highly recommend.
