google maps sent us around in circles, it took over 30 minutes to find the spot and we only found it because the girls called us, so pls reach out in advance. the guide was knowledgeable and kind, and she and my son were able to manage my mounting stress levels. I highly recommend this group. they're not just knowledgeable about the springs and wildlife, they're real people persons

Absolutely amazing experience!! Brad and Destanie are so friendly and knowledgable about the state park. Had a fantastic time! We saw manatees crocodiles turtles and various different species of birds. Would highly recommend the clear bottom kayak silver springs experience. Well worth the 2 hour drive and wait due to weather warnings. Would love to do this again.

One of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would—this adventure deserves every single one and more. The work they do is truly inspiring, and their mission adds so much meaning to the journey. Our guides, Brad and Destiny, were phenomenal—friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable about Silver Springs. They shared so much fascinating insight that made the entire experience unforgettable. I wouldn’t recommend doing this with anyone else—Kayaking with Sassy is simply the best!
