Beautiful experience! Our tour guides Shawn and Lola were fun, knowledgeable, cracked jokes and just laid back! So fun! No guarantee that you will see a manatee and unfortunately we didn’t but we understand that’s not anyone’s fault.
Hoping to be back and see some next time!

We had been wanting to get to SilVer Springs for some time. Then rather late I tried to book the glass bottom boats and my date was full. I saw that Wet Rabbits kayaks still had spots and decided to book a tandem kayak. What a great decision. There was immediate helpful answers to my questions. The boats were clean and ready when we arrived. The river and creature sightings did not disappoint. Monkeys, river otters, turtles, birds, and alligators along with a guide leading the way. We loved it and will probably return with grandchildren when they come visit. It was a very positive experience for us.

Alyssa is very knowledgeable about all the animals you see along the way and their names. She also tells you the very extensive history of the spring/river and all the movies that were filmed there. Highly recommend her tour!

We were running late after a debacle with our rental car. Our guide was so understanding and kind. Not something you find often. She was so knowledgeable and shared out of this world videos and pictures with us. We wouldn’t book with anyone else. Wet Rabbits is the very best of the bunch.
Brittany_D, Dec 2025
Absolutely wonderful experience, would definitely recommend to anyone! Great guides and beautiful wildlife!

Bring a cell phone with a good camera. The cell phone is placed on the glass bottom with the camera looking down through the glass. The tour guide shared videos from her waterproof cell phone. Use sunscreen.

What a delightful tour guide, Sherri! The group waited for me even though I was a little late. She was so thoughtful of everyone, kind and knowledgeable about the park and wildlife in it. I highly recommend booking with them!!! 10/10

Our main reason for booking the tour was to see manatees that frequent the Florida springs this time of year. Normally we would rent our kayaks and explore on our own but I figured a tour would increase our chances of seeing them. Illisa did not disappoint. She ensured we were able to see and appreciate so much more of the beautiful Silver River. She is so knowledgeable of the park, its wildlife and history. The glass bottom kayaks are fun but we didn't need them to see the manatees, turtles, Gators, and fish that are visible in the crystal clear water. Upon booking, we received a helpful email for what to do upon arrival. Once we moved to the boat launch it was smooth and easy getting in. We learned the river gets really crowded during the holidays (even when it's cold) but Illisa helped us navigate. We had a great time and, yes, saw so many magnificent manatees. I would definitely recommend Wet Rabbit for your Florida adventure.

Girls kayaking trip. Our tour guide, Shary, showed us all the wonderful wildlife. We got experience a manatee, turtles, monkeys, otters and lots of birds. Shary was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The water was so clear and the scenery just beautiful. Highly recommend this tour.

Tour guide was so good! She knew the place very well. Came across 5 alligators and manatees, it was surreal!
Katharina_F, Jun 2025
This was an excellent experience kayaking with the whole family it was super calm and the tourists was the best at helping and explaining things!! This was the best experience I’ve ever had kayaking!
Vanessa_B, Jun 2025
Amazing experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable & made sure we didn’t miss a thing - the history surrounding the springs, the fort/movie set remains, otters, birds, turtles, gators, fish & even the monkeys! 🤗 I highly recommend!!
Richard_G, May 2025
Drive to the top end of the car park - going up past the archway for the main pedestrian archway entrance. Toilet, Park kiosk and meeting point for all canoe/kayak groups are all there by the drop off point for the canoe companies who bring their canoes in daily 👍. Can be a little confusing - but actually quite simple 👍
Jesse_F, Apr 2025
Sherry and Wet Rabbit are an awesome outfit and made this a memorable event! Highly recommended for family!
Chyna_B, Apr 2025
My friend and I had a wonderful time kayaking. Being that this was my first time, the instructors including my friend really helped to guide me to know how to kayak properly. Whenever I visit Florida again I would definitely come back and use this company again.
Arleen_G, Mar 2025
The guides were wonderful sharing their knowledge of the springs, actively looking for the wildlife to show us, taking photos they shared with us. Great experience.
