Lovely and peaceful. Full of wildlife! We saw a manatee, all kinds of birds, turtles, fish, and several gators. Very crystal clear water. Steve is an excellent guide. Highly recommend but know it can be very crowded.

Best, Kayaking experience

Steve from Kayaking Florida was absolutely amazing! I'm so glad we didn't book through the park And we worked with Kayaking Florida. Steve was extremely personable, funny and knew all the right spots to go to find wildlife, tons of crocodiles and even a manatee. Absolutely worth every penny.

Operator response

Thank you for the kind review. Steve is a gem on the water and he will teach you all about the different species. Come back and see us again!

Better than a theme park!

Steve Tyndall was an EXCEPTIONAL tour guide. I don't believe I could have had a better experience with anyone else. Steve was incredibly knowledge about all of the wildlife, the property, and the history behind it. I traveled solo from Seattle to Florida for a conference, and the paddle with Steve felt like spending the day with a friend. I can't recommend this tour and Steve enough!

Operator response

Steve is very patient and kind. He really knows the springs and especially the birds! Please for sure come back and see us again during manatee season! We love that you had such a wonderful time.

So glad you had a great tour with Justin. He knows so much about the sorings and is very relaxed which makes our guests feel at ease too! Come see him at Blue or Alexander Springs.
