Beautiful Tour on the Silver River

Our guide John navigated my daughter and I skillfully on the Silver River kayak tour. We sight lots of wildlife: birds, manatees, gators, turtles and monkeys. The water and weather were very beautiful and John shared a lot of fun stories that made our trip interesting!

Beautiful trip! If you go, ASK FOR RYAN!

We booked this last minute and it was absolutely unforgettable. The springs are crystal clear so you can see everything, and there's plentiful wildlife on the banks as well. Our guide Ryan was fantastic. He communicated well to us about the potential for the day's weather to delay or cancel our tour and was very kind. We ended up being delayed almost an hour due to weather but it was completely worth the wait. He was informative, educational, and very funny and down to earth/easy to talk to. He made the tour easy and knew exactly where to find all the springs have to offer including three manatees, a plethora of birds, alligator, tons of turtles and unique species like the leopard gar. The only downside to our tour was when we called the three brothers company about the potential for a very long wait or cancel regarding weather and what that would mean for refunds. That call was extremely disappointing and we basically were given a complete runaround with no info. We just wanted to know what would happen if we ended up being pushed of for weather for several hours if we could be refunded or given a discount for waiting all day and couldn't get a straight answer. Ryan, the guide, was honestly the best part of the trip and once weather cleared us it was all worth it. At the end of our tour a thunderstorm caught us by surprise but that just increased the fun and thrill we had and made for a wonderful story to tell our friends and family, and made for a funny memory between us. All in all we had a blast, bottom line we were every impressed with the tour guide and the kayaking itself, very unimpressed with three brothers company customer service.

Great experience

Great experience. I booked last minute and Ryan accommodated us. Ryan helped my mom a lot and I appreciate that very much. Great instructions. We saw the manatee, different birds, alligator, and turtles. Relaxing water experience. Would recommend and would go again... bring a change of clothes.
