I never got my pictures.
The price was at the higher value considering other options and I never received my photos. The guide physically took my phone to send them. I never got them.

Clear bottom kayaks with John
We had an amazing time on our kayaking tour with John! He made the whole experience so much fun from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable while still keeping things exciting. We got to see beautiful scenery, learn interesting facts about the area, and moments that made the trip unforgettable. John’s energy and sense of humor made the tour even better. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting kayaking adventure, I highly recommend booking a tour with John. Not to mention the incredible clear water and kayaks! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Pure Magic!
The kayak tour with Sam was an exceptional experience. He is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide — and a kind spirit. Our tour of Silver Springs was magical, from the early morning mist on the water, to our amazing encounters and observations of the manatees, monkeys, birds and an alligator! It was the most delightful tour I have ever taken and Sam is a true gem.

Josh was very good as a...
Josh was very good as a guide. The tour was good and we saw a lot manatees. However the park people (not associated with company at all) who controlled boat access were not setup to handle the number of people on Saturday. They need to get their act together. However the kayaking was a very good experience
Operator response

Great unexpected kajak tour with beautiful animals and great tour guide
It was amazing to do this tour with Josh. He knew a lot about the wildkife due to his own experiences.
We were able to see the wildlife really up close and he was able to make under water videos of the wildlife.
It was a really calm tour in the morning with just the us and the tour guide wich made the tour even more special.
Operator response

Way more than I expected!!
It was absolutely incredible. We had a small tour and our tour guide Josh went above and beyond to get us into areas that we could see the most wildlife. Even staying separated from the larger group and we saw manatees, alligators not just on the shore but also in the water. And we got to even see river otters.
