Unfortunately experience - We had an amazing kayak tour in Florida with Brad and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we launched, we were surrounded by wildlife. We saw many manatees up close, along with turtles, fish, and a wide variety of birds. Brad is an excellent guide—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about the environment and wildlife. He made sure everyone felt comfortable on the water and took the time to explain what we were seeing without rushing the experience. The tour felt peaceful, educational, and unforgettable. I highly recommend this kayak tour with Brad to anyone wanting a true Florida manatee adventure.

The real Florida - We had a great time. Dylan was our guide he showed us birds,turtles,manatees and lots of alligators. He shared his extensive knowledge on all these animals and was terrific with his customers. The experience was well priced and 2 hours was a good length we highly recommend this tour one of the best I have taken in years

I think his name was Brad - We had an amazing time. I’m sorry I forgot our guide name because he was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sassy’s tour. It goes into rhe preservation of the matinees, the wildlife and silver springs. Great time!!

10/10! Ryan was great! - We had such a wonderful tour with Ryan! He kept our entire family engaged (which is hard to do with a family of 7) and was so informative throughout the tour. We saw so many beautiful creatures (many manatees, alligators, turtles, and an otter) and loved the scenery. Such a wonderful experience and would recommend to everyone! P.S. Ryan, if you see this, that Bourbon Burger from Seller's was AWESOME!

Sassy the manatee guide! - Sassy took a very large group out, and I believe it was the busiest time of the year. Not only did she handle it well but she handled it like it was not stressful at all. She found a lot of large alligators and a very good experience with a manatee. Their trip was worth about four times what it cost in my opinion!

Amazing Kayaking Experience with Wildlife - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Sassy! The tour was safe, and incredibly fun. Sassy is friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable from the very beginning—even for first-time kayakers. One of the highlights was seeing so much wildlife up close. We were lucky enough to spot manatees, alligators, otters, and other animals during the trip, which made the experience truly unforgettable. Our kids were especially excited and happy the entire time. Highly recommend Kayaking With Sassy! We would definitely do it again.
