Relaxing, beautiful and fun experience. A big thanks to Guy and Roger for an amazing day. The only thing that would make it better is if we saw a manatee or monkey but we saw Lots of turtles, cool birds and gators 😊. Be prepared to carry your kayak to and from the water.

Roger was our tour guide. He was great. Helped us with our kayak to get down to the water. Kayaks were clear so you could see the water below……I’ve heard that on some tours that the boats arent great but this wasn’t the case with this tour. Waters were fantastic colours and the scenery was beautiful. Got close enough to photo an alligator and saw a snake basking in the sun. Unfortunately we didn’t see any manatee but think this was due to being slightly out of season. Was £130 for the 2 of us which was pretty steep but memories will last a life time 😉

Roger was fantastic. I had accidentally made the reservation for Orlando, so when we showed up to Silver Springs, Roger made a call and helped us get our reservation switched over, easy peesy. He was very entertaining and helpful to those of us with little to no experience in a canoe. We had such a great tour!

What an amazing experience! I went solo on this trip but made so many friends by the end of it. The park itself is Gorgeous and the water was crystal clear! The guides (Bob and Guy) were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for the amazing experience!

First of all I’m extremely disappointed.. unfortunately I lost out on $450, I’m from out of state and went to Blue Springs by mistake so I wasn’t able to make it silver springs in time for the tour that I booked 2 hours prior. I called them to get a refund because I was unable to reschedule and they were extremely rude and not understanding at all. They have a no refund policy that does not account for accidents or mishaps. They take advantage of their customer base being mostly tourist because they know they won’t be returning so they don’t treat them with the respect that a good business would. The cancelation policy is a bad way to run a business if you want happy customers. Don’t book here if you are on vacation and aren’t running on a tightly adhered schedule because if anything happens you will lose out on your money. Also keep in mind that if you book this outside of Nov-March there likely won’t be any manatee even thought it is advertised as a manatee sighting tour. If you are thinking of doing a kayak tour in silver springs go with a different company like Get Up and Go Kayaking.

You will be charged a launch fee of $4 for each person although you will be launching your own kayak you will have to carry your own kayak to the water there were no manatee or monkeys

We were technically out of manatee season, so we didn't have high expectations, but this group...wow, they went above and beyond! They took us out further than they usually take groups after receiving a tip that a couple of manatees were there. They spent an extra hour (or more!) for us to continue kayaking to be able to see the manatees (along with countless alligators and turtles and birds on the way). The guides could have easily turned around and simply gone back home, with an easy afternoon, but they kept going..for us!! I was impressed and thankful. We saw FOUR manatees, towards the end of April! It was definitely the highlight of our Florida trip, and a memory we will never forget. Thank you Epic and especially thank you to Bob and Roger, you guys were absolutely amazing!!
