Clear kayak tour - We had a great experience with Bob and Roger. There were only 2 of us for the 9am tour on Wednesday morning and they gave us their full attention and lots of facts. We saw a manatee, several bird species, monkeys, and a couple of gators. This was such a fun experience with great tour guides. It was easy to find, quick parking, and guides were ready for us when we pulled up at 8:30am. I would highly recommend this tour.

A great day for us! - It's a lot of fun!!!! My 3 teenagers loved it. It is a bit of a workout. You have to be able to paddle and get out of the kayak.

A Must-Do at silver springs - Had an awesome time on the clear kayak tour with Roger. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and made the history of Silver Springs interesting. We saw monkeys, alligators, turtles, and lots of birds. The clear kayaks were a great touch. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip!
