Wet Rabbit Tours - Our guide was fantastic! Ilissa was very knowledgeable and personable. You will learn about the animals, spring formation, history and even some movie facts about the springs. There were plenty of animals to view. We would do this tour again!

Don’t miss a trip with the best - We were running late after a debacle with our rental car. Our guide was so understanding and kind. Not something you find often. She was so knowledgeable and shared out of this world videos and pictures with us. We wouldn’t book with anyone else. Wet Rabbits is the very best of the bunch.

Lots of Manatees - Bring a cell phone with a good camera. The cell phone is placed on the glass bottom with the camera looking down through the glass. The tour guide shared videos from her waterproof cell phone. Use sunscreen.

Magical River - Our main reason for booking the tour was to see manatees that frequent the Florida springs this time of year. Normally we would rent our kayaks and explore on our own but I figured a tour would increase our chances of seeing them. Illisa did not disappoint. She ensured we were able to see and appreciate so much more of the beautiful Silver River. She is so knowledgeable of the park, its wildlife and history. The glass bottom kayaks are fun but we didn't need them to see the manatees, turtles, Gators, and fish that are visible in the crystal clear water. Upon booking, we received a helpful email for what to do upon arrival. Once we moved to the boat launch it was smooth and easy getting in. We learned the river gets really crowded during the holidays (even when it's cold) but Illisa helped us navigate. We had a great time and, yes, saw so many magnificent manatees. I would definitely recommend Wet Rabbit for your Florida adventure.

Amazing experience - We had an unforgettable time on the Silver Springs Glass Bottom Kayak Tour. Our guide was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about nature. You could feel how much she loved the environment, and she passed that passion on to all of us throughout the tour. She was extremely friendly and made every moment enjoyable. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and she took the time to answer all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. We learned so much while having a great time. A wonderful experience from start to finish — highly recommended!

Phenomenal guide and beautiful nature - Ilissa really did a great job explaining the wildlife surrounding Silver Springs. She even knew every name of the alligators and had lots and lots of interesting stories about them to tell. We got really close to the animals and Ilissa took great pictures/videos. Please please add a non-US online way to tip you! (PayPal etc.)
