We had a great tour. Steve took his time, showing us a lot of animals and explaining the river ecology as we went along. We did not expect to see six manatee. We thought we would be lucky if we just saw a couple. As it happened, one of the manatees was in a very playful mood. She came over to us and played with our kayak, then, after giving us a good long look, she rolled over and nudged up against the kayak in a very playful manner. That was one of the highlights of the tour.

Absolutely loved this experience! The day we went was magical. Our guide from Kayaking Florida was Steve Tyndall. He really made our trip special . The photos he took of us were a huge gift as I didn’t realize how cool the clear kayak would look in photos with those purple paddles. Steve’s knowledge of the wildlife and area was endless so it was wonderful. We didn’t get to see monkeys or manatees as it was wrong time of year. But with all we did see I totally forgot about them. We saw lots of alligators, herons , fish, birds and captured some good photos. The Cypress trees were amazing with the crystal blue water. Definitely want to do it again.

Kayaking Florida was a great operator to book kayaks through.. Dylan and his buddy were super friendly and helpful.. the tour is beautiful and relaxing.. we will go again and book with Kayaking Florida for sure!!

Kayaking Florida is top of class! Shannon, Joe and the team are an efficient well oiled machine that share one of Florida's best natural resources ... the beautiful spring feed water ways. They outfitted us, two dads, 7yr and 11yr old sons, for self-guided ~2 hour kayaking run around Silver Springs. We used two non-clear tandem kayaks. Their equipment was top notch with aluminum framed sit on top kayak back rests (very comfortable for 6'3 me). They offer clear hull kayaks as well. You can't go wrong letting them help you put together wonderful experiences like ours! The KF team are excellent communicators!

Steve was a terrific guide. The tour was informative and interesting. Steve had knowledge of the delicate ecosystem of the springs and the wildlife. We were fortunate to view manatees, monkeys, various birds, and fish. All in all a very good experience and I highly recommend the organization. Shannon handled our booking efficiently and answered all our questions.
