Beautiful setting, lots of wildlife - Aly was friendly and great at spotting wildlife. She offered to take pics and videos of us and the wildlife, which was much better than the photos we took! Book the 9:00 am tour and arrive early to get out on the water before the other tourists so you have the place to yourself for a bit.

Ducks, turtles, and gators... Oh my. - Ignoring the unusual crowds for a weekday, the spring was quite stunning as the Florida springs always are. Aly was excellent with recommendations and pointing out the wildlife, of which there were a few. A couple of diving anhingas, turtles galore, and even three gators. (Next time I'll be looking for the snakes)

Excellent adventure! - We arrived early as recommended here on FB for the first tour of the day, with Aly our guide. Her knowledge is 2nd to none. She spotted so much wildlife that we would have missed, had we been on our own. The icing on the cake was spotting Milly the Manatee! We also saw at the last turn of the tour, a monkey in the trees. Aly recommended that we go on the walk to perhaps get a better view of the monkey. This led us onto the raised walkway where not only saw many turtles etc., but also two Otters happily playing in the stream. Thank you Aly for a great day, absolutely brilliant! Highly Recommended 👍

Beautiful kayak tour in a small group - Great tour with a small group and very nice guide. Very informative. He took a lot of time and told interesting things about the wildlife and the springs. We could observe a manatee, monkeys, birds, alligators, turtles and a snake. The early tour is highly recommended. Around noon, many kayaks were on the move. We were there on a Friday.

Great experience even if... - Great experience even if you don’t have any/much kayaking experience. Aly was great as a guide pointing out things we would have never seen on our own! We even witnessed an alligator eating another alligator! We also saw half a dozen or so manatees. Very cool!

Clear, bottom kayaking - Josh was very knowledgeable of the Springs and its surroundings. He was also very passionate about his job. The kayaks were cleaner than the other adventures, and I appreciate the back support seats in the kayak
