3 hr Solo Paddle Board Rental - Hands down, the best day! Brad my tour guide, truly made my experience 10/10. Very kind, sociable, and a wealth of information about the river and springs. I learned so much- and so did others on the river who tried to tag along, lol, as they found Brad’s information intriguing. During my last hour (opted to do alone), others on the river were asking for Brad’s name so they too could book and tour! Hands down, Brad is the best, and truly made my day unforgettable.

Otters - Roman was a great guide. He was very patient and knowledgeable. I would definitely do it again but in peak season to see the manatees. We did see some otters that were awesome.

5 Star Kayak Tour with Brad! - 5 Star Experience with Brad as our tour guide! Our tour included my husband and I, our son, daughter in law and 6 and 8 year old Grandchildren. Brad's passion and understanding and explanation of the wildlife and eco system of Silver Springs was outstanding. He answered all of our questions (and there were a lot) so everyone could understand. He extended our tour while we looked for a Manatee and he found Devine tucked away sleeping! Brad went above and beyond to make this a "Memory Maker" for us all. Take the guided tour with Brad!

An Unforgettable Kayaking Adventure - This was an amazing tour! Brad was terrific! We can't say enough good things. Not only was Brad knowledgeable, patient, and personable, it was just a beautiful experience to be in nature, see so much wildlife, and get on the water in this way. Brad went above and beyond and clearly loves what he does. We felt so lucky to have chosen Sassy's Kayak Tour and have Brad as our guide. It was an experience we'll always remember.

Sassy’s Silver Springs kayak guided tour - Great experience. Our guide Jordan was outstanding. The scenery was amazing, crystal clear water, manatee and monkeys. Go early it got very busy from when we launched to when we returned.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! - AMAZING!!! BRAD was the best tour guide, even the other tour guides on the river were telling us we had the best! The directions from the reservations and text from Brad lead us right to the spot to meet, easy! Brad gave all the instructions and provided us with everything we needed, then helped us all into the river. Brad knew where to take us to see alligators, birds, outer, snakes, monkeys, birds, turtles, and of course manatee! Our family made amazing memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend this tour and if you get Brad, you scored!

We had an awesome kayak adventure at Silver Springs - We loved kayaking silver springs. It is one of the most beautiful and interesting parks we have ever been to. There is wildlife everywhere you look including all sorts of birds, alligators, turtles, monkeys, fish, AND manatees. Our tour guide Brad Mullins was extremely passionate about the park and wildlife. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park itself and its history. His love and knowledge for the wildlife were evident. All of this combined made for an awesome father/son kayaking adventure!

Tour with Sassy and "Don't be sad get Brad!" - We were kayaking with Brad and he was fabulous! The knowledge he has of the river and its inhabitants was the most important part. All the manatees by name and their history, now really that is something else 😳 He was fun, funny, entertaining and informative all during our tour. You will love this, don't miss it!

Sassy’s Silversprings a must! - Considering how busy the paddle area was, there was a bit of confusion. We also got a late start BUT once in the water with our excellent guide Donovan, we were glad we took the adventure. We saw monkeys, turtles, a plethora of birds, manatees and gators.Highly recommend Sassy’s!
