Beautiful and relaxing - Such an enjoyable day! Our guide Abria was so lovely. She was very knowledgeable and showed us all the wildlife along the river. It was an amazing experience to be on the water and up close with manatees, gators, various birds, and loads of turtles. A must do activity 👍🏻

The kayaking are fascinating & we see many wild animals including monkeys, manatees, alligators, and turtles! Abria is so patient and energetic to give us a tour and show us where the animal is.A really good memory we get from here, it is worth spending a 2 hour here.

Beautiful tour and we saw manatees! - We had a wonderful couple of hours on the water with Abria. We saw a few manatees! Plus turtles, alligators, fish and birds all in beautiful surroundings. I also got to meet Josh in his natural habitat 😂 who I’ve followed on Instagram for ages. So happy to have finally made it out here from the UK. Choose Ecoventure Tours for smaller groups and great guides who are knowledgeable and really care.

A breathtaking clear‑kayak adventure at Silver Springs with Aly - gliding through crystal‑clear waters - We had an unforgettable experience on our clear kayak tour with Aly at Silver Springs! The water was crystal clear, and we were surrounded by incredible wildlife—alligators, manatees, turtles, and so many beautiful birds. It truly felt like paddling through a piece of untouched nature. Aly was an outstanding guide: knowledgeable, fun, and passionate about the environment. She made us feel safe the entire time and shared fascinating facts about the springs and the animals we encountered.

Wonderful experience - What a brilliant trip in beautiful scenery. Saw so many manatees…. They were playing and swimming under our kayaks. Totally exceeded my expectations. Just 4 kayaks in our group which was amazing compared to other tours we saw which had so many more. We also saw otters, turtles, alligators and many birds. Our guide Aly, text before we got there so we knew exactly where to meet her. She told us loads of info as we kayaked along. If you can, definitely book this trip.
