Silver Run Paddle Board Adventure w/ 3 Brothers Boards🐊 - The nature, wildlife, views and 72degree spring water were amazing! I went with a tour guide named Spence from Three Brothers Boards. He was very knowledgeable about the the ecosystem and all the specifics about the wildlife we encountered: manatees, alligators, and many beautiful species of birds, fish, turtles & ducks, among others… Having a tour guide made the trip much more fun and interesting than it would have been on my own.

FIRST TIME PADDLE BOARDING AND HAD AN AMAZING TIME! - First time paddle boarding, and I absolutely LOVED the Three Brothers Brand boards! I’ve been wanting to get one so now I know where to get mine! Spencer, our tour guide was AWESOME! He pointed out everything for us to see, Florida gar, catfish, snapping turtles, yellow belly sliders, manatees, Anhingas, Cormorants, alligators… so informative! Missed the monkeys this time, but I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE! Silver Springs is gorgeous!

Amazing Three Brothers Silver Springs Tour - This was an amazing outdoor adventure. Spence was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even found a few Manatees for us to hang out with. The glass kayak is so cool to see all Silver Springs has to offer right underneath us.

Calm slow day on the water - Spence was our guide, and was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife. We seen lots of turtles, alligators and monkeys. We were the only ones on this tour and we were the last tour of the day but even so, after we got back, he took the time to tell us about great restaurants in the St. Augustine area to try. We had a great time!
