Amazing !!!
We had an amazing time! Our guide Abby was really kind and did her very best to help us spot manatees, and thanks to her we were able to see a few even though it’s not the season for them! I highly recommend this experience.

Guided kayak tour
This was a three hour guided kayak tour for my wife and I only. Michelle, our guide was wonderful. We were able to see manatees, osprey, and a variety of other wildlife. Michelle was informative and conversational. Tour is highly recommended.

Great time Kayaking.
First time kayaking and our guide Morgan was wonderful. Being so nervous my husband and I felt comfortable after not long in the water because of Morgan. She told us and showed us what to do. It was a beautiful day and was just a restful experience. Will definitely do this again. Three Sisters Springs was beautiful and the water was so clear.
