Requires a degree of physical stamina due to paddling for over an hour but well worth it. Highly recommend.

A bit confusing checking in. Viator doesn't give good direction on what ro do. During the trip, we saw 1 manatee and 1 gator. Not what the ad makes it seem. A little disappointed. Guides were friendly. Since we didn't see much it was just a nice kayaking tour.

Our kayak tour guides, Stevie and Ben, were absolutely fantastic on the Epic Paddle Adventures – Manatees and Monkeys Clear Kayak Adventure at Silver Springs. Stevie led the way with incredible knowledge and made the trip both interesting and peaceful. We learned so much about the wildlife around us and were lucky enough to see manatees, alligators, otters, numerous birds, and even a monkey in the trees! Stevie even shared photos from the trip with us, which was priceless. I can’t say enough positive things about our tour guides and Epic Paddle Adventures. I highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again in the future.
