Above and beyond experience. - Our experience with Sassy's rental was amazing. We had the time and location mixed up but they were super helpful and accommodated us. The team was super helpful and very friendly. Well worth the trip and using this company.

Fun for everyone! - Loved Brad’s instruction and help. Saw manatees, eagles, many turtles and alligators 😱. Brad gave us a heads up about the current, and told us to take an easier route back. Thank goodness! The current was strong for 4 ladies in their ‘70’s.

Great time! - Had so much fun!!! Will definitely come back and rent the clear kayaks again. So easy and seamless, Ryan was great walking us through where to go and where we will see Manatee!! Admission fee was $8 for single kayak 2 people, paddled up and down for around 2 hours but definitely was leisurely. Overall great experience, will use Sassy again, and love Silver Springs!

Nothing short of amazing!! - We absolutely love kayaking Sliver Springs with Sassy! This is our 3rd time using Sassy and they never disappoint, Brad was an amazing guide and we will definitely be coming back! From Ohio and already thinking about when I can make another trip back down with friends or family. Brad was a wealth of information about the springs, and wildlife. His passion is felt the entire time, I can’t wait to return.

Great kayaking with Sassy and her manatees - What a fantastic and wondrous adventure with Sassy! Sassy was so attentive to our needs and the manatees found her so we could see them!

Most beautiful nature adventure! - The line to get the permit was long!! If there’s a way to put that price into the ticket would be so much better!! The kayaking in the double kayak was amazing! We saw manatees, monkeys, many gators and turtles and so many beautiful water birds! Priceless

To flee in these busy times - no fair gauge of business! - Total chaos with more than an hour waiting to get the entrance ticket to the park, very friendly but totally overwhelmed staff, a number of visitors far too large and noisy to enjoy any kind of wildlife almost invisible and for good reason! - so no manatee on the horizon, no monkey, just rain, too many people and noise - extremely deceptive
