Family of Four of various ages (all adults) everyone of us thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the day. Check in was so easy & the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Outdoor picnic area to eat lunch before our afternoon excursion. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We visited during the last few days in October & only managed to see 1 manatee which was disappointing but the guide did her upmost to make sure we did see at least one which we appreciated. Great swim opportunity in the springs & plenty of time to enjoy the springs too. Thanks guys excellent customer service.

Our first time to a spring. We were so happy with our guide Dani. She knew a lot about the springs and manatees. Paddles is so organized and professional. All in all our trip was perfect. Highly recommend Paddles and if you’re lucky you’ll get Dani to guide you.

Wonderful experience and beautiful sight so see. The tour guide was wonderful with leading and educating us about the Springs. Water was cold and we didn’t see any manatees but over all it was a great experience scuba diving.
