Magical manatee experience! - Wonderful experience! Crystal clear water, beautiful surroundings and so mane manatees. It was truly magical. What made the experience even more special was our tour guide, Josh , who led our small group. He had a wealth of information to share and was very respectful of the wildlife around us.

Braving the cold - 33° the morning I kayaked. Saw plenty of manatees, alligators and birds but the best part was the attitude and knowledge of Aly. The trip was worth every cold minute we spent in the water.

Manatees and Monkeys… Oh my! - Our family had an amazing time and our guide Aly was so friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this adventure to anyone who is interested in learning more about manatees. Bonus was seeing a lot of wild monkeys and alligators.

Up close with manatees! - Fantastic tour! We did a 9am tour with Aly and it was awesome. We saw a dozen manatees right up close (some went right under our kayak). Aly was so nice and informative about the springs and the wildlife. She took pics and amazing underwater videos for us! Highly recommended.

Great Experience in Silver Springs State Park - Love it! We saw gators, manatees and turtles. The water is clear and beautiful. Kayaking is challenging but interesting! Tour guide Aly is awesome! The best wildlife finder and photographer.

Great day on the water! - Aly was our guide. She was amazing and very knowledgeable. She was able to show us manatees, birds, turtles and alligators. We had hoped to see some monkeys but they’re really good at hiding apparently. We had a great time and look forward to going again!
