Great time on the river with Todd - Todd was excellent as our guide. It was a terrific experience. Fun, informative and super relaxing paddling the river. Thanks Todd for keeping my wife away from the gators. We will come back again and highly recommend Todd.

Unforgettable visit thanks to Todd - We had such a great experience at Silver Springs! The water and scenery are absolutely beautiful, and the clear-bottom kayak was great. A big thank you to Todd for making the visit extra special — your kindness and knowledge really stood out. Truly a wonderful place I’d recommend to anyone! Would highly recommend Three Brothers Tours. Thank you again to Todd.

Manatees and Monkeys! - Our tour guide, Ashton, was AMAZING!!!!!! He was very knowledgeable about the Springs and the local history. He shared a lot of information about the thoroughbred horse industry in the area, cattle drives, Fort King (the local fort) and had great recommendations for places to eat! We had a great time, saw manatees, alligators, MONKEYS, river otters, all completely wild. I've been to the zoo and seen fewer animals. It was awesome! The paddling was easy and the water was completely clear. 5 stars!! First rate tour!

DA try! - It was the first time we tried kayaking, but it was very easy DA learn. The water was crystal clear, and we saw a lot of animals (including alligators!). Thanks to the fantastic Ashley who guided us expertly in this experience, explaining where to see the fauna and told us a lot of interesting anecdotes. Thank you Ashley!

Amazing Jungle Adventure - Such a wonderful 2 hours with our fabulous guide Ashton. Saw manatees, turtles, a cool array of birds and fish, and even a small gator. My 9 & 12yo were able to steer the clear bottomed kayak with ease and I loved my first venture out on a paddleboard. Great equipment and professional, knowledgeable guide. We’ll be back!

Do Not Use This Company - Absolutely DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! We drove 2 hrs, just to NEVER see or hear from this company. No phone call, email, NOTHING!! Very unprofessional, distasteful, and disrespectful!! I highly suggest you NOT BOOK WITH THREE BROTHERS!!
