Great experience with kayaking Florida with Joe - Joe was a great help in assisting us with renting the clear kayaks. Scenery was beautiful and had a relaxing day in nature.

Beautiful peaceful experience - My son and I did our own self-guided kayak tour. It was great. We arrived earlier than expected and the staff was very accommodating and let us go earlier than our scheduled time. It was so nice, they carried the kayak down to the launch area, gave us everything we needed and told us the best areas to go. Silver springs was such a beautiful atmosphere. We really liked that we were on our own and didn't have to stay with any group. The springs were easy to paddle through. We saw lots of turtles and alligators sunning on the shores. The highlight of our trip, we had two manatees go right next to our kayak. I would definitely recommend Kayaking Florida.

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time kyacking silver springs. We did the full river run and had so much fun. Joe was great getting us into the water quickly and then when we got back he was there to pick us up before we even got out of the water. The whole trip just went perfect and I'd recommend using them to anyone.

Great adventure with the kids - Had a great paddle with the family, saw monkeys, gators and otters! Not only did Joe provide top notch service but his demeanor put me at ease after a slightly chaotic experience waiting in the line to pay park fees. 10/10, highly recommend

(Kayaking Florida tours )Highly recommended kayak rental!!! - We live in Illinois and the in laws live in Florida so we always set aside a day to kayak down Silver Springs while were here. Joe at Kayaking Florida tours was are go to for a seamless online booking the day before our trip. Joe was very, professional, kind, outgoing, and took all the guess work out of our kayak rental. All we had to do was book our time, type of kayak, and show up on time. We highly recommend Kayaking Florida tours for your Silver Springs adventure. We got to see monkey's, lots of alligators, turtles, fish, and tropical birds. P.S. The alligators are very doscile and pose no harm.
