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.

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!!

It was a great full day of excitement! Went early in the day and then ate a wonderful lunch in the park. The food was delicious and the view from the patio was amazing. We walked through the park after our kayaking adventure. The history and story of the park was very interesting.

The clear water was an amazing view! We got to see manatees, turtles, alligators, and birds. Our tour guides, Brandon and Lindsay were great and gave great information. Lindsay even had a furry friend, Bella riding her!
