Crystal clear waters, bucket list kayak tour - Was in Florida from Houston for my uncle’s funeral. Made some time for myself and went on the silver springs kayak tour led by Brad. The tour was gently paced and and we went over loads of freshwater springs with deep blue, clear water. Saw many different kings of turtles both large and small, alligators, lots of fish and numerous types of birds. Brad really knew the history of the area as well as the different plants and animals there. Absolutely stunning. Will definitely come again, maybe for a longer trip.

A great way to spend two hours! - We had a wonderful time kayaking down the river. Thanks Brad for being our guide. We learned so much about the wildlife and the area. It was easy to get there, find our guide down at the launch and pay your fees at the hut. He kept in contact with us so we had his number to communicate if we needed help finding him. I would definitely recommend.
