Amazing, educational and entertaining! - Our tour was amazing! The boats were clean and easy to operate. Our guides provided a great tutorial on how to safely maneuver our boats within the springs and guide lines for animal interactions. Big difference for a 52 year old mom, they had wheels on the kayaks making lauching and docking the boats so much easier than other tours I have attended. Our group size was small, 8 boats, which gave us plenty of time to explore and with two guides you could easily ask questions. The guides were great at pointing out wildlife and other points of interest and educating the group. They were respectful to the wildlife and carried that message to the group which we appreciated- many guided tours are missing this piece. My 13 year daughter who is typically not crazy about the outdoors couldn’t stop taking about how much fun she had and was excited that both of our guides were women. I highly recommend Wet Rabbit Glass Bottom boat tours!

The kayaks to be in! - This trip was a definite highlight of our vacation! Guides were knowledgeable, personable, caring, and invested in making our trip exactly what we wanted it to be. We were able to see manatee, alligators, birds and lots of other beautiful wildlife. The kayaks were comfortable and easy to navigate (unlike other people we were watching struggle in the completely clear "kayaks"). 10/10 recommend this outfitter and we will for sure be returning to see more of the beautiful springs.
