We had the BEST time on our kayaking adventure! Our tour guide Ashley and other on-site staff members were so helpful in working with us and getting us checked in quickly when we arrived at the launch site later than the planned 1 hour early arrival window. Our group traveled from Clermont and encountered some unexpected travel delays. It was a busy day at the park with long lines and we were so grateful for Ashley and her team’s kind and speedy assistance to ensure we didn’t miss our 1:30pm launch time! The kayak tour was amazing with breathtaking views and plenty of diverse and close encounters with the local wildlife including alligators, snakes, turtles, aquatic birds, fish, and even manatees! Ashley was extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history and array of wildlife, and the tour was a perfect balance of learning all about Silver Springs with little breaks to just take in the natural beauty and observe the park’s fascinating animal residents. The tour concluded with Ashley sharing / texting some great photos from the trip including a few underwater photos and videos. As many reviewers shared, be prepared to get wet and bring a towel and change of clothes for after the trip. We had soggy bottoms/legs from water getting inside of the kayak but it was totally worth it! Thank you again, Ashley and team, for making our visit unforgettable!
