we did not luck out much in terms of wildlife but we still quite enjoyed the tour. it was nice to get off our screens and do something physical. nolan was a great guide and though we had all planned to kayak three of our party ended up deciding to paddle board and really enjoyed it.

Book your Silver Springs adventure!
We saw lots of monkeys, two manatees, five gators, lots of birds, blue fish, and more! We booked through a third party and they were really nice and carried our kayaks to the launch pad. We were really happy we ended up booking and would definitely do this experience again.

Kayaking in Key Largo was...
Kayaking in Key Largo was a great experience. We went specifically hoping to spot manatees, but unfortunately we didn’t see any during our trip. That said, the guides were friendly, safety-focused, and explained what to look for and why conditions can affect sightings.
The paddle itself was beautiful—quiet water, great scenery, and a relaxing way to spend time out on the bay. Even without manatees, it felt like a fun, worthwhile outing. We did see some dolphins at the end of our trip.

Mother Nature is a hater
My daughters (26 and 24) neice (13) and I were SO excited to wrap up our week in Florida at Three Sister Springs....but Mother Nature had other plans. We went out on the water because we expected the rain yo come down hard for 10 minutes and then clear out (typical Florida weather) but we ended up sitting under a bridge for about 30 minutes before just calling it because the lightning and thunder wasn't letting up. The reason for thr 5 stars?
Booking was easy,
The price was fair,
We were running late but they still worked with us,
Our guide, Ms. Jax I believe, was wonderful,
They sent someone out to 'rescue' us so we didny have yo choose between paddling back or staying under the bridge waiting for the weather to clear,
They offered other times or extended time (we couldnt, we had a BBQ to get to and were hitting the road back to Alabama the next morning),
I asked for a discount but they reached out to Viator to refund us.
The 5 stars is because the experience OUTSIDE of the weather (which they could not control) was great enough that as we were driving away, looking like drowned rats, all 4 of us said our FIRST stop when we come back to Florida will be Crystal River to go clear kayaking!

What a great trip!...
What a great trip!
Mostly paddle boards unless you tandem, which i did with the granddaughter. He does teach you how to use the paddle boards of that's new for you.
Saw dolphins and sea turtles, my girl even got sprayed by a dolphins blowhole!!
Our tour guide was wonderful and patient with those who wanted to do a little more exploring

Best day ever!
A true Key West Island experience! A must do for any nature and water lover. It was like having a private island all to ourselves. Went kayaking near the mangroves, and went swimming in the warmest most beautiful water. Food, cocktails, and music were an added bonus. Captain Jude and Mate Allie took great care of us. We loved it so much we’re going back tomorrow!

Lillie was an excellent...
Lillie was an excellent guide. She was very patient with our group of inexperienced kayakers, including young kids. It was leisurely, pleasant, and beautiful. The Three Sisters with crystal clear water was the best part. We saw lots of wildlife along the way including a young manatee even though it's off season.

Good guide, even better scenery
Our guide was very good, minded our safety and very informative. Jo-on ( not sure how to spell his name). We didn't see manatees or dolphins on that particular morning, but that is nature. The weather and scenery more than made up for it. Leisurely pace, good for generally decent fitness.

A Must Do in The Keys
What a fantastic experience to begin our vacation in The Keys. Steven was a wonderful guide who’s passionate about nature. He’s very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and spent time showing our group how to kayak. This is good for first time kayakers in the Keys. Thank you Steven for a wonderful, peaceful morning!

Anniversary trip
Fun experience! A bit chaotic at first but once we got the hang of it, it was fun. The instructor was very helpful and stayed by us the whole time we were having trouble. There were big boats driving by which made waves come and felt like we was going to flip over, that was a bit scary but once you get the hang of it you’ll be fine. You will get soaking wet so don’t wear pants like we did lol. Also, keep in mind they changed locations so make sure you go to the right one because they’re both on there! We were late because we went to the old location. Definitely would try again

Amazon when they were very close
Amazing to see up close, but there was silt and other things floating making some of them had to see. We were not supposed to touch them, but they would rub against you, or float up under you, lifting you up, not out of the water, but you felt yourself rising up. Took a little time to get used to putting your face in the water, and breathing through the tube, but you were in long enough time to feel comfortable if it's your first time. You can hear people and your guide talking to you, warning me that one was coming very close, so close I was looking into its eye.
