Silver Springs Fl with Three Brothers Boards @ Threebrothersboards.com - Silver Springs is a #1 destination for families visiting Florida. Three Brother’s Boards are top of the outfitters game with clean well maintained equipment. Our guide Spenser was engaged with all parties on our tour, pointing out wild life even Monkeys. Yes, who knew there were Rhesus Monkeys the trees along the trip. Can’t say enough about the Silver Springs park and Three Brothers Outfitting for the Memories.

Unique Experience! Thanks Jimmy! - FANTASTIC tour. Jimmy is a very down to earth and funny guide. I was also very happy that I could clearly see the Manatees through the transparent kayak. Other tours I’ve been on didn’t have that experience.

A truly unique and wonderful experience seeing animals in nature, highly recommend!! - We really enjoyed this tour, our tour guide Jimmy was super friendly and helped us spot the manatees, alligators and variety of birds, turtles and fish in and along the river, we also learned a bit of fun facts and historical significance of this river spring. So great to see wildlife in their natural surroundings. This river does get a bit busy on the weekend however as it’s quite a popular spot. We also loved the clear kayaks and paddleboards that let you see below the surface of the water. The water is so clear you can see the bottom most of the time. All in all a truly unique and wonderful experience that we would highly recommend!

Jimmy was awesome had a good time - Jimmy was awesome. You can tell he enjoys what he does. You need to arrive about an hour early to give yourself time to use the restroom and stand in the launch fee line. The Silver Springs Park requires it to be done separate and not added to tour cost. Brother Boards helped us navigate that. The park should have a big clear sign directing people to the line as it gets crowded. Was surprised by how small the water way is and how many people were on the water.
