    This was a great adventure for our family. Justin and his team made this experience very easy. Check-in and meet-up was easy. They carry the kayaks to and from the water for you. No need for a guide as the kayaking is a simple route. We saw lots of unique birds, turtles , alligators, an otter and a couple manatees. Silver Springs is beautiful with pockets of crystal clear blue water.

    It was a great experience...

    Elaine_P, Mar 2026
    It was a great experience however this time of year there were no manatees and when we registered we paid for each our own kayaks and when we arrived they made 2 of the 3 go tandem. It was disappointing that we did not have each our own kayak as we had paid for. They advertise monkeys and we didn't see any of those either.

    We cannot guarentee what wild life you wills ee on the water. We advertise what we have seen but make zero guarentee of what will be there. We do apologise for that. It's like fishing huh? You won't always catch a fish while fishing so you cannot expect it. Glad you had a good time though.

    Jolia you are right! We try to make the entire process as smooth as possible. The springs hold a lot of hidden gems and you got to see some of them! Come see Blue Springs with us next.

    Great. Justin was very helpful.

    We saw manatees, alligators and turtles. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent and a change of underwear, shorts and socks. Be prepared to work out your back and arms since you will be powering the kayak yourself.

    Thank you for the great review! Paddling the boats can be a little exhausting but definitly worth the trip to see what the Spring has to offer. Come see us again!

    It was wonderful. Seen a lot of wildlife and gorgeous scenery. Very beautiful place with walking trails, food, some shopping, and ice cream. Will definitely do again if I get a chance.

    Perfect family outing

    Friendly and easy to work with. Definitely recommend getting the clear boats so you can enjoy the clear water and see fish etc. We were lucky to still see a few manatees even though late in the season and also saw a bunch of monkeys.
