The kayak tour with Sam was an exceptional experience. He is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide — and a kind spirit. Our tour of Silver Springs was magical, from the early morning mist on the water, to our amazing encounters and observations of the manatees, monkeys, birds and an alligator! It was the most delightful tour I have ever taken and Sam is a true gem.

Josh was very good as a guide. The tour was good and we saw a lot manatees. However the park people (not associated with company at all) who controlled boat access were not setup to handle the number of people on Saturday. They need to get their act together. However the kayaking was a very good experience

It was amazing to do this tour with Josh. He knew a lot about the wildkife due to his own experiences. We were able to see the wildlife really up close and he was able to make under water videos of the wildlife. It was a really calm tour in the morning with just the us and the tour guide wich made the tour even more special.

It was absolutely incredible. We had a small tour and our tour guide Josh went above and beyond to get us into areas that we could see the most wildlife. Even staying separated from the larger group and we saw manatees, alligators not just on the shore but also in the water. And we got to even see river otters.

Beautiful morning on the silver spring river. The water was very clear and we were lucky to have a manatee come close to us and come up for air several times. Our guide knew a lot about the springs and animals which was very interesting.

The thrill of getting out there to kayak and be along side some wild creatures is pretty priceless! My daughters and I had a blast… with one moment my heart stopped as I was getting closer to an alligator 🐊 and had to paddle faster than I could possibly imagine! Highly recommend!

Google maps puts you past the entrance you should take. The park needs to let you put up a business name sign. Very confusing with the amount of rental companies out there. Josh the guide was excellent, if you get him you're lucky. Very informative about the water and full of information. I don’t know what you pay him but give him more.

Drew from this tour gave a wonderful tour. He was patient with us, since we were first time kayaking. He allowed us to see the skyline, took great pictures and allowed us to go at our pace. We highly recommend taking this great tour. You will enjoy yourself, and get a great upper body workout. Thank you for your time Drew.

We had a great time on this trip. It was our first trip to central florida from down in South Florida. Josh was extremely well informed on the springs and wildlife and really made it an enjoyable experience for us both. We will definatly be back
