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!

Had a great time on the spring, Brad has a wealth of knowledge to share with you about the wildlife and everything that involves the springs. Got to see many different types of cool creatures. And plenty of Brad jokes along the way

Brad…..amazing tour guide, who is truly passionate about what he does. We drove 18 hours to Florida and another 2.5 hours for this experience and it was worth every bit of it! We had theme park days, beach days, and water park days…..This is a MUST experience in Florida for you, your family, and friends. Brad will make this experience worth it, he did for us.

The most wonderful morning! Our tour guide Carrie was absolutely amazing and knew so many interesting facts. Although not the season we were able to see a manatee, as well as turtles and various birds and without Carrie we might not have spotted the manatee! We were the only ones booked on so the tour felt extra special, would highly recommend and was the highlight of our Florida trip so far, thank you Carrie!
