Wonderful tour guides!

Sarah_P, Jun 2026

Connor and Shawn were excellent tour guides! Very knowledgeable with all of our questions. Super patient with our lack of being in the water, we even knocked poor Connor into the water. He was super kind about it! 10/10 recommend! Thanks guys!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled you had such a fun experience out on the water with Connor and Shawn. We’re glad they were able to answer your questions, help everyone feel comfortable on the water, and keep the adventure fun from start to finish. We’ll be sure to give Connor extra credit for taking an unexpected dip! Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back on the water again soon!

Do Not Use This Company

Brandy_J, Jul 2025

Absolutely DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! We drove 2 hrs, just to NEVER see or hear from this company. No phone call, email, NOTHING!! Very unprofessional, distasteful, and disrespectful!! I highly suggest you NOT BOOK WITH THREE BROTHERS!!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating that experience must have been, especially after traveling such a long distance for your tour. Our team did attempt to reach out prior to the tour through both email and text regarding the reservation details, but we understand that sometimes messages can unfortunately be missed, filtered, or not received as expected. We always do our best to communicate clearly with guests ahead of their arrival to help tours run as smoothly as possible. Because we never want guests to feel they paid for an experience they were unable to participate in, a full refund was issued for the reservation. After more than 17 years in business, providing professional and memorable experiences for our guests is something we care about, which is why situations like this are taken very seriously by our team. We truly appreciate the feedback and wish you the best moving forward.

Amazing!!

Had an amazing experience at the springs. Ashton was a great tour guide. We were able to see alligators turtles, and even manatees. We will definitely do this again.!
