Feedback from Our Clients
We had a blast going down a side stream and the Chipola river on kayaks. You will see turtles, fish, birds as you go down stream. David is super friendly and cares about the river for everyone to enjoy. Make sure to stop by and start your river adventure here.

The folks at Chipola were awesome. Rates were perfect and the experience to chillax floating down the river was a breath of much needed fresh air. You definitely want to hit Chipola River Adventures.

Went on Saturday and the staff was friendly and efficient. We rented two tubes and the "Limo Raft" that seats three. All were a reasonable price and much cheaper than Bear Paw. Water was crystal clear and many shells. One guy found a shark's tooth! Highly recommend for a full day of fun!

Perfect last minute kayaking trip find! Staff was helpful and got us to the stop in point with no problems. Had both sit in and sit in options! Started in the stream and ended in the river.
Luckily, they also told us about the materials on the water laws before leaving our truck so we could repack. It was great to be at the truck the moment we got out of the water. Even took a picture for us to end the day
We will be back to do the longer trek soon!

10/10 go here and not bear paw! It’s cheaper, and literally the same river and route but less crowded and the staff are amazing and very accommodating. They took us to the launch point, stored some small items for us, accommodate a huge, needy family with nothing but smiles. They have tube rentals and life jackets for all ages. We took our infant down the river and had no issues with the massive out of the water float they provided us with. I will be coming back!! Thanks again Dave, we’ll see ya soon!

Loved it. It's a 4 hour float. Water was very clear for most of the float. Worth the drive from Port St. Joe; would definitely do it again. Very friendly staff.
