An unforgettable trip with manatees and more. - What a wonderful trip! Our tour guide, Sherry, was amazing! She was knowledgeable and warm-hearted. She guided us to see the springs, the sunken boats, and, of course, the manatees. We saw dozens of them! Sherry took many beautiful photos and underwater videos and shared them with us. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime memory. I highly recommend this tour!

A must do! - We had an amazing time starting off the 2025 right! We saw everything we thought we would see…alligators, manatees, turtles, birds, fish and monkeys! Lissa was a great tour guide! Trip tip…get there when the park opens and do the first trip out of the day…you will be able to see more. The water gets crowed as the day goes on.

Excellent kayaking tour - Enjoyed a lot, were able to see many manatees, turtles, alligators and birds. We never had any experience in kayaking, but the tour guide Alicia was very patient and extremely helpful.

Love was in the air!! - We had two tandem glass bottom kayaks. The kayaks were probably the best we saw there (and we saw a lot as it was the holiday week)! We were also provided with towels to dry our kayak bottom so we can see trough the viewer clearly. Very thoughtful. Our guides were quite chill, friendly and helpful. We checked out all the spots. Saw a lot of wild animals. The animals seemed to be particularly loving that day as the manatees and turtles were all mating. Our guides took a lot of photos and airdropped them to us! Thank you, ladies!!

Silver Spring Florida - Our guide is very nice and helpful. We have plenty of time to kayak around the manatees. Even the Monkeys are moved away from the area due to recent hurricane, we still see many birds, turtles and a few gators.

Great Day! - My family and I had a magical day kayaking at Silver Springs with our guide, Caitlyn. She was very knowledgeable and wonderful to have with us. The highlight of our tour was seeing a mother Manatee nursing her baby. Caitlyn was able to video tape this under water, along with our son. It is a memory we will share with everyone. I highly recommend going!

You appreciate so much more with Wet Rabbits guiding - The kayak & kit was first rate but what made it so good was the light touch guiding and information from Caitlin, superb. The setting was beautiful, the wildlife (numerous birds, gators, turtles, manatees, fish, dragon/damsel/butterflies, together with the flora could really be appreciated calmly while kayaking. Great photos (and shared underwater videos from Caitlin).
