Glass bottom kayak - This tour was great. Lots to see and take pictures. Our tour guide Roger was amazing. No one tipped the boat that's a surprise. My husband and I are seniors and we're able to do the 2 hour trip.

No Manatees. Not “clear” kayaks. Not worth it. - Manatees are not in the springs this time of year. So if that’s what you are looking for, forget it. The website should state that clearly. Other items - all we saw was turtles on logs a few birds - nothing special - and a couple lounging alligators a safe distance away. Considering the long drive from Orlando, I wouldn’t really recommend if you have limited time. You will see as much wildlife walking the nature trail for a $2 admission. One more note - you do have to carry the kayaks and they do not offer wheels which honestly is tough. It was a lot of effort for some folks in our group. And they aren’t really “clear” kayaks and are not kept polished (for clarity) like other providers.
