This was such an amazing...

5.00This was such an amazing experience. The weather wasn’t ideal, but our guide was very away of how the system was traveling through the area and ensured we got to enjoy the experience while remaining safe. I was a solo traveler and felt completely included. This was one of the only kayaking tours that accommodated a solo traveler. What I loved best about this excursion was given by a family-owned business that has deep ties to the community. I learned so much about the area and history. It made me feel great that I was supporting the community.
The guide was wonderful...

3.00The guide was wonderful and knowlegable. The kayaking was great, but it was a bit of a disappointment that we saw no manatees. Turns out it was the wrong time of the year.
Worth it! Kyle with Smile is an awesome guide

5.00This tour waa just amazing! Our guide was Kyle with a Smile and he was so fun ! You can tell he genuinely loves his job with his energy and enthusiasm. We didn't get to see any manatees but we saw a tarpon and so many mullet jumping out of the water. The springs themselves were just breathtaking!
