Great opportunity to see a "pristine" bit of wilderness complete with lots of wildlife. Loved the river, the Canoe Escape folks were very nice and competent, we are certain we will be back to do more trips.

We took the 2 hours down stream canoe trip yesterday as a company outing and had a blast! There were about 30 adults and a handful of kids in 13 canoes and one kayak. The water was very high and we saw many alligators sunning themselves on the banks of the river. We also saw turtles, a snake, and many beautiful birds. Just the trees and natural surrounds are beautiful in their own right. There is no sign of human influence anywhere along the 2 hour ride until you get to the Morris bridge, almost at the end. And that is just a nice park.

My husband and I went for a two hour kayak trip down the river and saw tons of wildlife. It was a great way to spend time together and enjoy the serenity of Florida nature. I highly recommend visiting the park. The staff are knowledgeable, curteous, and nice.

A friend who had taken the trip with others several times took me to the Hillsborough river. We took a tandem canoe unguided. Probably saw about 30 alligators, lots of turtles, birds, and even a good sized deer. It was a gentle paddle, mostly downstream. We went in at Sargeant's Park and out at Morris Bridge Park comfortably in two hours.

My wife and I have been on four different trips down the Hillsborourgh with Canoe Escape. They were all wonderful. Only once did we fail to see alligators, but even on that trip, we still enjoyed the indescribably beautiful scenery. On two occasions, friends from out of town have joined us, and they loved it too. The staff at Canoe Escape are very friendly and knowledgeable—take the paddling tutorial before setting off, and you'll be a paddling like a pro by the time you finish. We highly recommend the two hour downstream journey (Trip 1).

We had Phil as our guide, who was really nice and very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We have not done a lot of canoeing and don't know the area so it was great to have a guide.

Hillsborough State Park rents kayaks but you can only kayak a short distance and you have to kayak upstream as well as downstream. Canoe Escape is located just 3 miles from the park entrance and gives you the option of kayaking 4 to 12 miles. I chose the 8 mile trip and took my time. The wildlife at the beginning of your trip is incredible. Birds galore, hundreds of migratory vultures, turtles and alligators. There were no houses along the entire 8 miles giving you a sense of wilderness. There are pink ties on streams to mark the route but I was glad I had an iPhone with gps on two occasions. I went on a weekday and only saw one other paddler at the beginning of the trip. The staff at Canoe Escape were friendly and very accommodating, offering you various pick up times and the option to shorten your trip and call them if you chose. Kayak and paddle were comfortable.

3 of us rented 1 canoe for a 4 hour trip and it was worth it. The first two hours were the best and when we saw the most wildlife. After the half-way point it was more serene and quiet with less alligators. Around the 4 hour mark right before the stop they label "Nature's Classroom" there is a section covered with black vultures- that was amazing. I didn't think vultures would be that interesting but there were so many crowded into one place- more than I imagined.

This is a definite experience and a very slow moving river so suitable for all ages. Take water, sunscreen and a hat if you can! We saw a number of alligators, and some in our party were pretty terrified but was amazing to be right in their habitat like that!

I have been canoeing on this river for years! Joe and Jean are amazing as well as their Canoe Escape team. Highly recommend them!!!
