    Justin's tour was exceptional.  You can tell he loves providing the excursions and sharing his stories knowledge. A true advocate for the wildlife and the ecosystem. We saw many birds, manatees, fish, classic movie sets, and plant life which Justin was able to talk about. A fun and friendly educational tour with perfect weather and not too many other people on the springs.

  • Justin is an amazing guide and wealth if information

    Our guide, Chris, made the experience even more special. Early that morning, he reached out with detailed driving directions and clear instructions on where to meet, which made everything smooth and stress-free. It was a beautiful and relaxing experience, and we were lucky to spot several manatees along the way. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Silver Springs, its wildlife, plants, and canals — turning the trip into both a fun and educational experience. He also took fantastic photos and videos of our adventure and kindly shared them afterward, which was such a nice touch. Highly recommended! If you’re planning to do this kayak experience, definitely ask for Chris — he’s the best!

    Chris gave us an amazing tour! strongly recommend booking the trip! when I bought the ticket, I didn't know he would give me the tour along the whole trip, he introduced local culture, plants and wild animals, most importantly, he could noticed the cute animals so easily and point them to me! I really enjoyed the time! People who bought tickets from somewhere else were surprised that I got this great service, and my ticket was not more expensive😀. Oh, and the good thing is, you never need to worry about late fee! since he is around you the whole time, even if you play kayak a bit longer, he won't charge you extra!

  • Really relaxed and enjoyable trip

    From the start, I appreciated their communication. Provided really clear instructions and contact numbers in case we had trouble (we didn't). We were the only pair for the time we had booked, as another group was late and had to shift to a later tour. So Chris, our guide, gave a brief intro and we headed out. We were able to see several groups of manatees, as well as numerous birds, turtles, and alligators along the way. Chris was really knowledgeable about both the different animals and birds we saw, as well as the history of the springs. He took video and stills on his phone along the way and airdropped them to us at the end which meant we have loads of great shots. It is a solid drive from Orlando, allow an hour and a half to two hours to not be late.

    We had an amazing time on our float at Blue Spring. Our guide Ashley was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience fun and relaxing from start to finish. We saw several birds, turtles, fish, alligators, and even manatee up close. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and the clear water made it easy to enjoy all the wildlife around us. Everything was well organized and easy from check in to the end of the trip. This was one of the best experiences we have had in Florida and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
