If you were intrigued because of the name, Kings Landing (Game of Thrones reference)… Don’t worry that’s they probably get asked several times a day if this was named after that.. It wasn’t!
We booked a guided VIP Wild Florida Adventure, which was a 2.5 hour tour with honestly one of the best tour guides. She was absolutely wonderful, full of knowledge and got us unstuck several times. Firstly, you do get the VIP treatment by skipping the hard work of paddling upstream as you are driven to your starting point. I will say, once we did have to paddle upstream, it was tough work so we were really happy we chose this option. Along the way we saw some herons, alligators, and various other birds. The scenery was absolutely calming, shallow water, there were pockets of water which was very emerald and you can see the fishes. Along the way, you will pass by several private properties, and other groups. Anyone with their own kayak, paddle can utilize this area. Overall, I wish it was sunny for the whole duration of our experience but nonetheless it was definitely an experience worth trying.
Now for some logistics, outhouses for bathrooms, parking is available but limited on a busy day. You need your ID to get registered (only the individual who booked the activity). Fill out the waiver form online for quick registration process. If you saw, clear kayaks, that is a separate business that you have to rent from.

Prepare to be hungry, we were starving after our tour
