AMAZING experience!! - This experience is SO worth it, Casey and his fiancé are so knowledgeable and friendly. We were lucky enough to see multiple alligators, loads of turtles, and some wonderful birds! The two hours flew by. I did the tour with my family, including my parents who are in their 60s, and we all absolutely loved every second. Fantastic experience, couldn’t recommend it more!! Thank you!

Fun in the Sun with Visibility Forever! - It was a great day! Casey & his Fiance were fabulous! It was a busy day at the Springs bit they assisted us with getting the kayaks to, into, out of and back to the staging area. Plus they keep their tours limited to 8 people max or 4 kayaks. We saw some groups with 18 kayaks and the guides were yelling for people to hear...ridiculous and frankly annoying for those not part of the group. We will definitely do this again with other friends and family! The only recommendation would be to maybe provide a little clearer description on connecting at arrival. There are many other guides also not part of the Silver Springs Park and it was a bit confusing when you also have to go pay for your entry into the launching area. Maybe a Visibility Forever sign near where your Kayaks are. We had their phone # so all was fine so not a huge deal!
