Amazing experience - This was an amazing experience. Aaron was an excellent guide and we felt very safe and relaxed even though we'd never been kayaking before. Water was crystal clear and allowed us to view many manatees, turtles and alligators. Well worth the money. Aaron kept us entertained with his humour and knowledge. A trip not to be missed.

Best start to the New Year - Went on this trip with my family and I cannot emphasize enough how worth the drive from Daytona it was. Aaron was friendly — remembering all our names — and knowledgeable about the area and the animals therein, took phenomenal photos of us and the wildlife, and was able to point out hidden secrets we would never have noticed. The whole excursion felt like a conversation with someone truly passionate and excited to share this beautiful space with us.

Wonderful manatee tour in Silver Spring leading by Aaron - It was a wonderful tour! Aaron was very professional and showed us many manatees and turtles. Despite the cold weather, he still managed to find an alligator for us. Throughout the tour, Aaron shared lots of interesting information with us and took a lot of pictures and videos for us. Highly recommend the Silver Spring tour led by Aaron.

Great experience with the... - Great experience with the family. Aaron knew where the spots were to see the wildlife. Kids were tired afterwards, which is good for the parents. We did singles, but also a tandem.
