Fantastic experience at Silver Springs, highly recommended tour with very knowledgeable guide. Everything was explained prior to and during the tour. Questions and interactions encouraged throughout the experience. We started on time and ended up going over time as our guide wanted us to experience everything on offer. Location is amazing, and you get to see alligators within feet of the kayak. Would go again tomorrow if we could. A defo must if in the area.

It was great and would love to go again. Brad was great and showed us so much that we loved. We even seen two manatees as we were putting our canoes in. They even followed us on our way down the river. They are so beautiful and sweet to be around.

My family had the best time with Brad! We love kayaking and all things wildlife, so we really enjoyed learning about the local ecosystem and springs. We didn’t see any manatees this time, but we did see so many other animals - gators, turtles, birds, snakes & fish! Can’t wait to come back and do this tour again!
