Awesome Time! - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Kaitlyn was a great guide who was knowledgeable, polite and personable. The river was peaceful and we saw a good amount of wildlife! The clear bottom kayak was cool because you could video and/or photo through it. I highly recommend Wet Rabbit Kayaks.

5 Stars All Around! - Everything about this tour was incredible! The springs were so clear, the glass bottoms were very helpful in seeing them. There was plenty of wildlife to view and photograph as well! My friend was not very comfortable kayaking by herself, and the guide went out of her way to help her feel safe. She ended up loving the trip! On the insta, there is a video from our tour of the manatee in June. All was perfectly safe and ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! Thank you so much, Wet Rabbit Kayaks, for an amazing edition to our trip!

Silver Springs Family Kayak Glass Bottom Tour - Fantastic tour. Our guide was amazing June 1 glass bottom kayak tour. Learned the history. Old ships sunk, gators. Birds camorant, wood duck and rare site yellow feather, hawk inhaler, herons, turtles, gators, plant life but no manatees. Many underwater springs glowed in light turquoise blues. Park history and Seminole home, Spanish conquest and invasive species of blue tilapia and Spanish moss and apple snails. Was a beautiful experience of a working Mom that home schooled and went from family farm to RV and her daughter going to public school
At 11. We throughly enjoyed relating to a family outing for my birthday…Donna with my son and husband and girlfriend, my son doubled the kayak with his girlfriend. Both husband and I enjoyed separate kayaks and also to hear about the territorial monkeys imported but not seen w stds. Glad we didn’t meet. Would highly recommend. Next time return for manatee season.

First Time Kayaker- Wet Rabbit made it easy! - I'm so happy we chose Wet Rabbit Kayaks for our tour of Silver Springs! It was my first time kayaking & the kayaks they use are easy to operate, designed to keep from tipping over and I wasn't nervous at all! Allyson was awesome & our guide, Kaitlyn was very knowledgable about the area, took her time with us & it was such a peaceful experience! I would highly recommend them!

Amazing Spring River Tour - It’s amazing that we could still see so many animals in May. Tour guiders are so experienced, they knew the best place for each spices. We saw the monkeys and learned they were from East Asian. Then dozen baby anhingas and cormorants, it’s fun to watch them try to fly or staring. We were so lucky to see the manatee and kayak with him for a minute. We also found tutors, snake and alligators . The spring water is crystal clear. Both guiders are knowledgeable, friendly and equivalence. Just a little bit hot at May.

Description change - I would suggest changing the ad for Tandem to doubles kayak. This would have prevented me from booking the wrong type for our group and inconveniencing our great guides. It was a great trip for our guests.
