We did a kayak tour with Justin at Silver Springs last week, and we were so stoked with the adventure that we booked this repeat at Blue Springs today. Not only did Justin put us right on the manatee, but we hooked up with a calf named Calliopee who was a rescue release this last spring. She was being tracked by GPS buoy to ensure her safe return to the wild. We rafted up with her group for over half an hour while exchanging info with an observer from Manatee Rehabilitation Partnership. The experience was super fun and totally informative. Justin is the best!!!

We had a small group from my neighborhood who got together for the Blue Spring kayak tour. We are mostly novice kayakers. These guys do a GREAT job. The equipment was quality stuff in very good condition. Our guide Matt really loves what he is doing. He worked to make sure everyone was involved. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of this trip. He could tell us about all the species we encountered - plant and animal. I will use them again for some of their other trips.

We had a blast kayaking around Blue Springs and experienced lots of manatee activity. Our guide Matt was terrific. We had originally booked a manatee tour at Salt Springs, but Greg offered to switch our reservation to the same day/time in Blue Springs due to the higher manatee count. Glad we did!

I had the best time on this tour. I was on my own and had never been down to Blue Springs before. This tour quickly exceeded my expectations. Greg and Nancy were super friendly and knowledgeable. I didn’t know that much about the manatees (being a transplant to FL) but now I have a greater appreciation, not only for the manatee but also for the area and the other wildlife. The park itself is gorgeous. The kayaks and equipment were great! Highly recommended it to my friends and couldn’t stop talking about it for days 🙂. Thank you!!
