Our guide was Capt.Kyle, he was knowledge, experienced and highly respectful of the surrounding nature. This is a must-do for anyone wanting to experience the real Florida. Being a native Floridian who was raised with airboats and swamp buggies, I can attest that this brought back great childhood memories and I can't wait for my grandkids to come and experience the adventure as well.

The price is reasonable and the office staff is helpful. The not so good - If you like to or need to use your RV park's facilities for toileting or showering, do not stay here! They have one toilet and shower at the front of the park and one toilet and shower at the rear. When I needed to use them they were either occupied or being cleaned. In addition, there is no a/c in the stalls. This may not be a big deal during cool weather, but during hot & humid days...ewwww! In addition, they have many washing machines but only 2 dryers in each of their two laundry rooms. Not a big deal during sunny days, however, one of their main rules is that you are not allowed to hang dry anything at your campsite. Strange. Also, when I saw they had a fitness room, I was hooked! HA - the "fitness room" is a small non-air conditioned room with 2 elliptical machines that were evidently assembled by a toddler in the dark whilst it was half asleep and 1 bicycle and weight bench with several free weights. Lastly, if you have a dog, be aware there are only a few streets where dog walking is allowed. Super grateful to have found a spot in Florida in January, but felt compelled to write this review in case you have options.

The staff was so helpful - from providing a map and walking through the best path to get to the spring to helping us launch, it was a great experience. You check in downtown and then the walk to the launch area is less than five minutes. Everything you need is at the launch area. This was probably one of the nicest kayaks I've ever rented. The springs was lovely and surprisingly not too packed for 4th of July Weekend.

We set out before sunrise and were ready to go once the sun hit the water in the morning. Our guide was the perfect mix of hands off and hands off. He showed us how to attract the manatees and interact/passively observe them, and created a shared group experience that you could partake in, but also let us wander about in our own and have intimate one on one time with the manatees, which I didn't see happening with the other groups that came out into the water later, they seemed more uptight and controlling of their groups. This was the highlight of our Florida trip and I'm so grateful we picked the best company to go with. They supplied snacks and drinks on the boat and a changing room after getting out of the water. The wet suits and snorkel gear they supplied was very quality and felt new. The main store we met at had lots of manatee goodies and snorkel and scuba gear. It was very cute and were pleasantly greeted by the boat captain when we came in in the morning. It felt like a big happy family of a crew and we had the greatest time out there. I will never forget having a manatee come hug me and try and eat my hair. We had a total love fest with each other for a solid 2 minutes, and the manatees were very interactive and curious and playful in general which made for a great experience. We were in silver springs that day and we saw so many manatees. This crew knows where to go and makes for the best experience. It's flexible to spend as much time as you'd like in the water and get out whenever you've felt you've fulfilled yourself and then enjoy sitting on the boat and watching the manatees go by on the beautiful morning.

Even though we went during the low season (August) when not as many manatees are present in the water, it also happens to be the time of year where the babies are around. Our Captain used a drone to locate a mother and baby manatee where no other tour groups were located. We were in very shallow water, and the manatees literally swam underneath of our bodies, pushing us up to the surface and rolling us around where we were completely powerless and stuck within the mangroves. It was absolutely amazing and brought tears to my eyes! Our guide Zach and Captain Ryan we're fabulous and I really look forward to doing this again. I cannot recommend this company more and I'm so glad that we booked with them!
