Chris is amazing with his caring knowledge. So refreshing learning from someone who loves and cares for what he does and kit shows. Very glad I had single kayak and was able to paddle to desired areas. Chris was able to take awesome pictures of us, underwater and action shots! Booking was easy to follow, confirmation of reservation in minutes. Directions precise and clear. Chris emailed me that morning for any clarification of instructions or last minute questions.

Our tour guide Chris with Silver Springs Kayaking made this experience all it could be. For out of town folks to get the most out of the 2 hour trip around the Silver springs, he explained the history of man made artifacts, multiple species of birds and the various varieties of trees. I seen folks without a guide, they would be going the way in which they would be fighting the toughest currents at the end of the trip. Chris would see the wildlife before we would and point it out. Not only did he educate his self to the history of sites, trees and wildlife on the tour, he was entertaining, he made the trip fun. Chris took pictures above and below the water of our groups trip, he sent it to us all so it was as if we took those photos, no one in that group could have got any of the awesome photos he got for us.

Florida Kayaking (Steve) was great! He was knowledgeable of all the wildlife and very nice and caring about all members in our group. It really was great to go at a decent pace and still be able to see and explore.
