This journey is perfect for those desiring a serene evening paddle, appreciating the sunset as it dips beneath the horizon during the river’s most alluring time. We often have the privilege of occupying the river solely, a rare occasion at Florida’s famed and much-frequented springs- the Weeki Wachee River!

Board a transparent kayak, offering a superior view of aquatic life beneath. This trip serves as a fantastic escapade for novice kayakers, however, we navigate upstream for the initial part of the excursion, providing a great exercise session and making the downstream drift back to our starting point worth it.

A CANNOT miss sunset experience! - I was quite hesitant to do a water activity solo, but this was by far, one of the coolest things I've ever done. Davis was my tour guide and made everyone feel comfortable and ready for 2 hours on the water. We ended up seeing a manatee AND a couple of dolphins, on top of one incredible sunset before the hurricane rolls in. Don't even think twice about booking this experience and be ready for a good arm workout!

An Unforgettable Experience - I had the most enchanting experience with Get Up And Go Kayaking on their Weeki Wachee Sunset and Glow Clear Kayak Tour! From start to finish, the tour exceeded all expectations, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Davis. Davis's warm and friendly demeanor embarked on an unforgettable journey together. He patiently shared his extensive knowledge, providing us with essential paddle skills that allowed us to navigate the serene waters effortlessly. Not only did Davis ensure our safety throughout the tour, but he also went above and beyond to capture picture-perfect moments, preserving our cherished memories forever. The magical experience of witnessing the sunset and witnessing the glowing bioluminescence is beyond words, and I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a breathtaking adventure. Thanks to Davis and the team, this will forever remain a cherished highlight in my life's adventures.

Sunset tour experience - The Sunset tour is a MUST! My fiancé and I had the most amazing experience with Colin as our tour guide for the evening. We were lucky enough to have a guide all to ourselves. We can’t wait to go back in October! Thank you again so much!

Sunset Kayaking Tour with Colin - This was a fabulous tour! Our guide, Colin, was really nice and also very knowledgeable. He gave lots of information and interesting facts about the wildlife and ecology of the area. Not only did we enjoy a relaxing, fun evening paddling to a gorgeous view of the sunset, but we saw manatees three different times and it wasn't even their mating season.

Wonderful sunset kayak ride - Had a great time on a sunset kayak trip with Colin. He was super knowledgeable of the waterways and a wonderful guide. We didn’t see any manatees but plenty of other wildlife and nature was found!

So much fun & an awesome kayaking trip! - This was one of our highlights of our trip! We saw manatees eating along the shore line. There was even a calf. A bit further on the trip we saw a young bald eagle. The glass bottoms were spectacular one the kayak lighting came on. We didn’t know which way to look because the stars in the sky were also breathtaking. Lastly, our guide, Davis was phenomenal and great with our teens. This really is a unique and do not miss adventure!

Spring waterways are special! - Kayne is a super guide. He has a lot of history and eco information to share. He is truly passionate about nature. Next trip I would choose sunset. The night paddle took us to pitch dark areas and in narrow passages around houses where we had to navigate boaters. It was concerning how cognizant the boaters' were of us; as it was their 'party time'.

A Wonderful Tour Company, highly skilled staff, beautiful tours, great experience! - Our experience was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. I cannot thank the team at Get up and Go Kayak Tours enough. My family is on a last minute vacation. I had been looking for tours online but all were booked. While at Weeki Wachee State Park I saw this location had tix available that night 2 hours away. I wanted to make sure the location so I called. I was blown away by customer service like I never have encountered before. Taylor was hearing the park background noises, she asked if a closer location would be preferred, asking where we were and so on. She went over and above, I’m so grateful. Vinny came in special and gave us an amazing tour of the area. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He went over and above. It was peaceful- we ever got to see a manatee! The people along the river were so nice! I highly recommend this experience! I would book with this company again and again!!!

A great experience - It is a memorable 2 hours for me. The natural scenery here is gorgeous. Our tour guide Gary is a great person, he really brings classroom outside. We learned a lot of knowledge about local environment, and also learned how to kayak as 100% rookie.
